Abstract
The present analysis identified pulmonary fibrosis and Raynaud's phenomenon preceding SSc skin manifestations by at least 3 years as risk factors for PAH in our scleroderma cohort. Screening for PAH in these high-risk patients may detect PAH at an earlier stage and guide decisions on therapeutic interventions.
