摘要

BACKGROUND: A 42-year-old woman with limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis presented with rapid-onset dyspnea on exertion, which had developed over the previous 8 weeks. She had not experienced any dyspnea before this period. Transthoracic Doppler echocardiography performed 6 months before presentation demonstrated an estimated right ventricular systolic pressure of 32 mmHg. Lung function tests also performed at that time revealed a decreased diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide of 54% and normal lung volumes, and high-resolution CT scan of the lungs was normal. INVESTIGATIONS: Physical investigation, CBC, analysis of C-reactive protein and pro-brain natriuretic peptide, transthoracic Doppler echocardiography, six-minute walk test, lung function tests including diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide, right heart catheter, high-resolution CT scan, and ventilation/perfusion scan. DIAGNOSIS: Pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis. MANAGEMENT: Treatment with oral anticoagulation therapy and the endothelin-receptor antagonist bosentan. Monitoring of adverse effects of bosentan therapy was performed using liver function tests.
