Genetic Burden

Due to its high association with Raynaud’s phenomenon systemic sclerosis (SSc) is probably the most common connective tissue disease seen by vascular specialists. In part 1 of our systematic overview we summarize classification concepts of scleroderma disorders, the epidemiologic and genetic burden, the complex pathophysiologic background, and the clinical features and the stage-dependent capillary microscopic features of SSc. Furthermore, we address the diagnostic recommendations propagated by the German Network for Systemic Sclerosis and the Task Force for Diagnosis and Treatment of Pulmonary Hypertension of the European Society of Cardiology, the European Respiratory Society, and the International Society of Heart and Lung Transplantation.

Future Work

Pulmonary hypertension is a fast-growing field in cardiopulmonary medicine. Thanks to recent advances summarized in the 2015 European Society of Cardiology/European Respiratory Society guidelines, evidence-based pulmonary hypertension management can now be provided to all pulmonary hypertension patients. There are, however, important gaps of evidence which should be clarified in future work.
