OBJECTIVES to identify the particularities of the clinical phenotype of endothelial dysfunction in a lot of Romanian patients from a reference center and compare it to data reported by international registries. MATERIALS AND METHODS 51 patients were included in a cross sectional study. The patients were evaluated for the pattern of disease, main visceral involvement, serum markers of disease. RESULTS 41.2% patients had history of digital ulcers, 27.45% had pulmonary arterial hypertension; cardiovascular involvement also included: diastolic dysfunction in 31.1% of the patients, global systolic dysfunction in 9.8%, rhythm and conduction disturbances in 19.6%, peripheral vascular disease in 19.6%. Scleroderma renal crisis was identified in 2 patients. CONCLUSION Vascular complications are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in systemic sclerosis. Earlier therapeutic intervention demands improved screening and diagnosis in all cases.

Increased arterial stiffness as the marker of vascular involvement in systemic sclerosis2008 •
Endothelial dysfunction and vasculopathy of the small and large vessels are crucial pathogenic factors in systemic sclerosis (SSc). Accelerated atherosclerosis and impaired flow-mediated vasodilation have been described in SSc. We evaluated arterial stiffness in patients with SSc compared to healthy controls. Augmentation index (AI) and pulse wave velocity (PWV) of the brachial artery were measured in 40 patients with SSc and 35 age and sex matched healthy controls using an arteriograph system. AI was significantly higher in SSc patients (9.02) compared to controls (-41.15) (p < 0.0001). PWV was similarly higher in patients with SSc (9.67 m/s) than in controls (8.00 m/s) (p = 0.0017). PWV was significantly higher in patients with localized SSc (10.04 +/- 2.01 m/s) compared to those with diffuse SSc (8.39 +/- 1.87 m/s) (p = 0.034). There was a significant, positive linear correlation between AI and PWV (r = 0.32, p = 0.045). We also observed significant correlations between AI and...
