  • Title: [Pulmonary arterial hypertension and generalized scleroderma. A propos of 10 cases].
    Author: Commeau P, Grollier G, Foucaúlt JP, Potier JC.
    Journal: Poumon Coeur; 1983; 39(1):31-5. PubMed ID: 6866890.
    Abstract:
    Whereas pulmonary fibrosis is a very frequent manifestation of scleroderma, pulmonary hypertension of the precapillary type is a much rarer occurrence in this affection. Two cases of scleroderma with subsequent development of a pulmonary hypertension are reported. Various hypotheses have been advanced to explain the origin of this disorder during the course of scleroderma. Rather than a direct consequence of the sclerodermic pulmonary fibrosis it probably arises secondary to the specific, diffuse, primary pulmonary vascular lesions.
