Overview

Literature review demonstrates widespread vascular reserve impairment in systemic sclerosis, suggesting early detection provides a window of opportunity for reversible targeted therapies.

Key Points

  • To review the pathophysiological role of endothelial dysfunction and the progressive loss of vascular reserve across multiple organ systems in systemic sclerosis.
  • Synthesized published literature examining endothelial cell pathology and vascular tone regulation during stress conditions in systemic sclerosis.
  • Assessed clinical and physiological data evaluating vascular reserve across cardiac, pulmonary, renal, and splanchnic circulatory networks.
  • Loss of vascular tone control manifests early as Raynaud's phenomenon and drives failure of normal microvascular adaptation under physiological stress.
  • Vascular reserve impairment occurs across major organs, including reduced coronary flow reserve, exercise-induced pulmonary hypertension, absent post-protein renal hyperfiltration, and abnormal splanchnic postprandial responses.
  • Identification of early vascular reserve breakdown marks a potentially reversible disease phase that is more susceptible to targeted therapeutic strategies.
