Implication

Prospective cohort study reveals severe subclinical coronary stenosis in systemic sclerosis, highlighting the utility of computed tomography angiography for early risk stratification.

Key Points

Severe coronary lesions frequently emerge in asymptomatic systemic sclerosis, correlating significantly with diffuse cutaneous involvement and concomitant interstitial lung disease.
Among evaluated individuals, 30.7% exhibited severe coronary stenosis requiring intervention, frequently displaying an active-late pattern on nailfold video capillaroscopy.
Prospective cohort evaluation using coronary computed tomography angiography highlights occult vessel damage, supporting timely intervention to prevent chronic heart failure.
