Abstract

The article presents a study which examines the correlation of anti-β2-glycoprotein I (anti-β2GPI) and anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL) with macrovascular disease in systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients. It evaluates 75 SSc patients with a history of ischemic digital loss and 75 matched SSc controls. Results show that anti-β2GPI positivity is associated with macrovascular disease in SSc patients, including digital loss and pulmonary arterial hypertension.
