| Expected results and conclusions We hypothesize that in patients with a vascular endotype of SSc both the incidence of PAH and mortality due to PAH will be higher than in patients without this endotype. More intense screening algorithms will be applicable for these vascular endotype patients for early diagnosis and treatment. This will shed new light on the screening of PAH in SSc with risk stratification and appliance of personalized medicine and herewith early diagnosis of PAH, early implementation of targeted treatment, improving survival and saving costs. | — |
