Overview
There are no established measures for the secondary prevention of scleroderma. However, effective measures for the secondary prevention of pulmonary arterial hypertension and scleroderma renal crisis in patients with scleroderma include screening.
Secondary Prevention
- There are no established measures for the secondary prevention of scleroderma. However, effective measures for the secondary prevention of pulmonary arterial hypertension and scleroderma renal crisis in patients with scleroderma include:[1][2][3]
- Annual screening with trans thoracic echocardiogram (TTE) and pulmonary function tests (PFTs) for pulmonary hypertension.
- Regular blood pressure monitoring at home for early detection of scleroderma renal crisis.
