Exercise echocardiography for the assessment of pulmonary hypertension in syste...
Baptista, R; Serra, S; Martins, R; Teixeira, R; Castro, G; Salvador, MJ; Pereira da Silva, JA; Santos, L; Monteiro, P; Pêgo, MBACKGROUND: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) complicates the course of systemic sclerosis (SSc) and is associated with poor prognosis. The elevation of systolic pulmonary arterial pressure (sPAP) during exercise in patients with SSc with normal resting haemodynamics may anticipate the development of PAH. Exercise echocardiography (ExEcho) has been proposed as a useful technique to identify exercise-induced...

Baptista, R; Serra, S; Martins, R; Salvador, MJ; Castro, G; Gomes, M; Santos, L; Monteiro, P; Pereira da Silva, JA; Pêgo, MBACKGROUND: The etiology of exercise-induced pulmonary hypertension (exPH) in systemic sclerosis (SSc) remains a complex task, as both left ventricle (LV) diastolic dysfunction and pulmonary vascular disease can contribute to its development. We determined the incidence of exPH in SSc and examined the association between pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) and tissue Doppler-derived indexes of pulmonary c...
A propósito de um caso de espessamento cutâneo
Serra, S; Ambrósio, C; Salvador, MJ; Silva, J; Serra, D; Reis, JP; Malcata, ABThe authors present a clinical case of a 79 years old female patient, with a progressive cutaneous thickening of the face, trunk and limbs, lasting for 6 years. She also presented exertional dyspnea and intermittent solid dysphagia. The laboratory study identified IgG KAPA monoclonal protein and antinuclear antibodies with a speckled pattern. The nailfold capillaroscopy was normal. A detailed physical examinati...
Vasculite livedóide em doente com síndrome antifosfolípido
Serra, S; Saavedra, MJ; Salvador, MJ; Reis, JP; Malcata, ABThe authors present a clinical case of a 30 year old male patient admitted to the hospital for recurrent cyanosis and feet pain lasting for one year. In addition he presented bilateral purpuric lesions in the lateral maleolar region, one of which with ulceration. The finding of anticardiolipin antibodies associated with intraluminal thrombosis in the dermal vessels, allowed to conclude for Antiphospholipid synd...
