Relevance of Partitioning DLCO to Detect Pulmonary Hypertension in Systemic Sclerosis

Relevance of Partitioning DLCO to Detect Pulmonary Hypertension in Systemic Sclerosis

We investigated whether partitioning DLCO into membrane conductance for CO (DmCO) and pulmonary capillary blood volume (Vcap) was helpful in suspecting precapillary pulmonary (arterial) hypertension (P(A)H) in systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients with or without interstitial lung disease (ILD). We incl...
