Cutaneous Iontophoresis of Vasoactive Medications in Patients with Scleroderma ‐ Associated Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
ConclusionsPatients with SSc-PAH have a lower cutaneous microvascular response to a prostacyclin analog treprostinil and the sGC activator A-350619 when compared with patients with SSc and no evidence of PH on screening tests, presumably due to a peripheral reduction in prostacyclin receptor expression and nitric oxide bioavailability.
