Aortic root dilation in associated with the reduction in capillary density observed at nailfold capillaroscopy in SSc patients

Michele Colaci et al.

Summary: In systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients, aortic root dilation was observed in about 6.4%, and there was a significant association between aortic root dilation and impairment of capillary density at nailfold videocapillaroscopy. It is hypothesized that SSc-related microangiopathy revealed by nailfold videocapillaroscopy could mimic that of aortic vasa vasorum, contributing to deteriorate the aortic wall structure and favoring aortic root dilation and stiffening.

The presence of diabetes mellitus further impairs structural and functional capillary density in patients with chronic kidney disease

Maria Schoina et al.

Summary: Endothelial dysfunction is associated with increased cardiovascular events and overall mortality. Microvascular damage is prevalent in both diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease. This study found that diabetic CKD patients have significantly lower capillary density during reactive hyperemia and venous congestion compared to non-diabetic patients, particularly in CKD stage 3b.
