It is now known that systemic sclerosis is not only a disorder of collagen metabolism, but a complex, multi-system disease requiring the diagnostic and treatment skills of the rheumatologist, endocrinologist, cardiologist, and many other specialists. Genetic and environmental factors placing individuals at risk are also beginning to be recognized. This volume draws upon the expertise of noted authorities in a wide range of disciplines, whose reviews provide up-to-date coverage of the many and complex ramifications of systemic sclerosis. Together they serve as a comprehensive reference source on individual aspects of systemic sclerosis, as well as on the latest advances and insights into this disorder.
Systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) is an incurable connective tissue disease of unknown etiology. Three key processes play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis: immune dysregulation and inflammation, endothelial injury and vasculopathy, and fibrosis. Tissue fibrosis is the dominant and characteristic feature that affects the skin and visceral organs. Life expectancy of scleroderma patients has improved over recent years, mainly because of better treatment of organ involvement and complications; however, no curative disease-modifying therapies exist to date. This book aims to provide students, trainees, rheumatologists, and other specialists interested in this disease with a comprehensive overview of novel pathogenetic mechanisms, management approaches, and therapeutic targets of several major vascular and fibrotic manifestations, and is useful insight into a number of usually neglected aspects of scleroderma.
A comprehensive review of inflammatory syndromes and diseases that affect the blood vessels, this volume draws upon authors from all over the world to present informed discussions on all types of vasculitis and related conditions.

Case Studies in Systemic Sclerosis deals specifically with Systemic Sclerosis in a case study format. Each case presentation includes illustrative figures, a discussion of the pathophysiology relevant to the case, a discussion of management that is both evidence-based and expert opinion-based and several key references for further reading. With its easy-to-use format, this book presents multiple different manifestations of Systemic Sclerosis to a wide range of readers. Because this disease has a broad range of systemic features, Case Studies in Systemic Sclerosis is a valuable reference tool not only to the community of rheumatologists (trainees, academic and private practice rheumatologists) and dermatologists, but also potentially to internists, gastroenterologists, pulmonologists, cardiologists and nephrologists.
