Abstract

[Microvascular abnormalities are a key feature of systemic sclerosis and typically occur early in the disease course. Nailfold capillaroscopy is a noninvasive clinically useful tool that can provide valuable information for the diagnosis and prognosis of primary Raynaud’s disease and the scleroderma spectrum of autoimmune disorders. This chapter presents the diverse range of capillaroscopic abnormalities found in patients with SSc-spectrum disorders, and exemplifies the role of capillaroscopy in diagnosis and assessment.]
