Exercise Hemodynamics for the Diagnosis of Diastolic Dysfunction in Dyspneic Patients with Systemic Sclerosis.

CONCLUSIONS: In symptomatic SSc patients, exercise hemodynamics provides important information on diastolic dysfunction that is not available with non-invasive testing. Findings on exercise RHC can explain patient symptoms in up to 50% of cases. Earlier and more accurate diagnosis of patient symptoms can aid in tailoring the correct therapy for each.
