Dentre as diversas condições clínicas associadas ao risco de desenvolvimento de hipertensão pulmonar, a esclerose sistêmica merece particular atenção, não só pela prevalência significativa de hipertensão pulmonar dentre seus portadores, mas também pela piora importante no prognóstico que a presença da hipertensão pulmonar representa. Com isso, temos uma situação em que o rastreamento periódico e a introdução precoce de tratamento específico têm potencial impacto na evolução da doença, embora essa alteração evolutiva ainda mereça melhor caracterização.
Among the various clinical conditions associated with an increased risk of developing pulmonary hypertension, systemic sclerosis merits special attention, not only because of the high prevalence of pulmonary hypertension among systemic sclerosis patients but also due to the significant role that pulmonary hypertension plays in worsening the prognosis of such patients. Therefore, periodic screening and the early initiation of treatment have a potential impact on the course of the disease, although this effect has yet to be well characterized.
