Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) may complicate diverse connective tissue diseases (CTDs) such as systemic sclerosis (SSc), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and mixed CTD (MCTD) and is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in this context. From a histological standpoint, the pulmonary vascular lesions in PAH complicating CTD are similar to those observed in idiopathic PAH (IPAH).

Connective tissue disorders correspond to a heterogeneous group of inflammatory diseases characterized by abnormal immune system activity leading to connective tissue alterations in multiple parts of the body. In adults, connective tissue disorders include rheumatoid arthritis, progressive systemic sclerosis, Sjögren syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, dermatomyositis and polymyositis, ankylosing spondylitis, and mixed connective tissue disease.

http://antioxidant-scleroderma.blogspot.com/2010/02/evaluation-of-efficacy-of-toe-brachial.html

OBJECTIVE: The ankle and toe brachial indices (ABI and TBI) are calculated as the ankle and toe systolic blood pressures divided by the highest brachial systolic pressure, respectively. We sought to evaluate the efficacy of ABI and TBI as an objective, non-invasive assessment of vascular involvement in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) and to investigate the clinical significance of TBI in SSc. METHODS: ABI and TBI were measured using an oscillometric method in 136 outpatients, including 77 with SSc, 29 with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), 16 with primary Sjögren’s syndrome (SjS), and 14 with dermatomyositis (DM)

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the response of skin arterioles from control subjects and patients with scleroderma and Raynaud’s phenomenon (RP/SSc) to cooling and modulators of protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) activity. METHODS: We used the microvessel perfusion technique to characterize the response of isolated dermal arterioles (100-200 microm, outside diameter) from normal (n = 17) and RP/SSc (n = 17) subjects to cooling from 37 degrees to 31 degrees C
