Systemic sclerosis-Scleroderma
American Rheumatism Association (American College of Rheumatology):Major criterion or two or more minor criterion
Major criterion: symmetrical thickening, thightening and induration of the skin of the fingers and skin proximal to the metacarpophalangeal, or metatarsophalengeal joints
Minor criteria: Sclerodactily: the changes of the major criterion, but
limited to the fingers Digital pitting scars or loss of substance from the finger
pad: depressed areas at tips of fingers or loss of digital pad tissue as a result of ischemia
Bibasilar pulmonary fibrosis
6
SSc has two subgroups according to the extent of skin involvement: Diffuse SSc-dSSc Limited SSc-lSSc
7
Pulmonary manifestations of scleroderma
Most common manifestations: Interstitial lung disease Pulmonary hypertension
Others: Pleural disease Chronic aspiration Airway disease Lung cancer Extrinsic restriction
8
PH in SSc ILD hypoxemia PH ILD+PH (PH out of proportion to the degree of
fibrosis) Isolated PH Myocardial inflammation and fibrosis
left and right ventricular disfunctionPH
-PH due to unrelated lung disease (COPD, CTEPH)
9
PAH is a leading cause of mortality in SSC.
SSc-associated PAH has got a worse prognosis than idiopathic PAH.
PAH related to SSc is common but its true prevelance is not known (4.9-38%)
10
Risk factors for PAH in SSc Genetic???: HLA-B*13; HLA-B*65 Increased age of SSc onset;
postmenopausal age Severe Raynaud phenomenon and
digital tip ulcers Absence of anti-Scl-70 Predominance of nucleolar auto-
antibodies
11
A decrease of DLCO during the early stages of the disease is a predictor of subsequent development of PAH during the course of SSc.
12
Pathogenesis Pathogenesis of SSc-PAH resemble those
of iPAH: Endothelial injury dysfunction
activated myofibroblasts Overproduction of endothelin Decreased production of vasodilators Vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and
hypertrophy Inflammation and adventitial fibrosis in
medium sized to small sized pulmonary arteries
Vasoconstriction and hypertrophic changes increased pulmonary vascular resistance
13
Clinical features
Symptoms are often nonspecific: dyspnea fatigue chest pain syncope
In the early stages symptoms are evident only on exertion.
14
Diagnosis-baseline
History Examination Blood tests Autoantibodies Chest x-ray PFT (spirometry, DLCO, ABG) Doppler Echo
15
Scleroderma patient with respiratory symptoms
PFT : spirometry, DLCO, ABG Isolated reduction in DLCO or a
proggressive decline in DLCO suggest PAH A ratio of percentage of predicted FVC and
the percentage of predicted DLCO >1.4 is a predictor of PAH; and a value >2 predicts worse survival.
Normal PFT results do not rule out PAH. Serial DLCO testing has been recommended
16
Doppler Echo sPAP>35mmHg ? - >40mmHg
N-terminal proBNP CT-pericardial disease, main pA
daimeter >29mm Right heart catheterization-gold
standard
17
Treatment Patients with combined PAH and diastolic
dysfunction and/or interstitial lung disease are often exclude from clinical trials. Therefore it is not known how best to treat them.
Treatment may be complicated with worsening hypoxemia due to increased ventilation-perfusion mismatch or pulmonary edema in patients with severe honeycombing or diastolic dysfunction.
18
Treatment
There are no specific guidelines for the treatment of SSc-PAH.
Treatment guidelines for iPAH cover PAH associated with connective tissue diseases; most experts use these recommendations.
19
Treatment All patients with documented
hypoxemia should be on supplemental oxygen to maintain SaO2 above 90%.
Patients with evidence of right ventricular failure should be given diuretics.
Oral anticoagulant- can be given if complication risk is low. Bleeding complications are more frequent in SSc.
20
Treatment CCB:
Less than 10% of patients with iPAH are true responders to high dose calcium channel blokers.
Even fewer patients with SSc-PAH are true responders.
Acute vasoreactivity testing for Patients with SSc-PAH (weak recommendation based on expert opinion only)
21
Treatment
PAH specific agents: Prostanoids Endothelin antagonists Phosphodiesterase inhibitors
22
Treatment
Prostanoids: Epoprostenol:
Continuous iv epoprostenol improved exercise capacity, symptoms and hemodynamics in patients with SSc-PAH, in a multicenter, randomised, controlled, open label study . A survival advantage was not demonstrated.
23
Treatment
Prostanoids: Treprostinil:
Sc infusion of treprostinil improved symptoms, exercise capacity and hemodynamics in patients with CTD related PAH
Inhaled iloprost: Inhaled iloprost trial included patients with
CTD, but subgroup analysis for thie group was not reported.
24
Treatment
Endothelin antagonists: Bosentan:
It is approved for the treatment of iPAH and CTD-PAH.
Bosentan prevented walk distance deterioration in patients with SSc when compared with placebo. But exercise improvement was less marked than that seen in iPAH population.
25
Treatment Bosentan:
In a retrospective single center study of iPAH and SSc-PAH patients, firs-line bosentan monotherapy was associated with long term improvement in functional class and good overall survival in patients with class III iPAH. Bur SSc-PAH patients showed stability or decline in functional class and tended to have a higher mortality.
In a second retrospective study of SSc-PAH patients bosentan was associated with an early improvement in functional class, but this benefit was lost after 9 months.
26
Treatment
Efficacy of selective ETA receptor antagonists sitaxsentan and ambrisentan in SSc-PAH patients remains to be determined
27
Treatment
Phosphodiesterase inhibitors: Sildenafil:
In a randomised, double-blind, placebo controlled study of 278 patients with PAH sildenafil improved exercise capacity, functional class and hemodynamics. 30% of these patients had CTD, mainly SSc; but subgroup analysis was not reported.
28
Updated ACCP Guideline-Chest 2007:131:1917-1928
29
PAH is a leading cause of mortality in patients with SSc.
In the current treatment era, 1 year survival for patients with SSc-PAH improved from 68 to 81%; and 2 year survival from 47 to 71%.
But SSc-PAH is associated with a poorer response to therapy and worse outcome when compared with iPAH.
30
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
IPF has a poor prognosis. Median survival is 2-5 years. Mortality is usually related to
progressive restriction or acute exacerbations.
PH may complicate the course of IPF and potentially impact prognosis.
31
Prognostic factors in IPF
10% decrements in FVC Exercise capacity
6 MW distance Desaturation during 6 MWT
PH
32
PH in IPF
Prevalence: 32-85% Serial progression in PAP Retrospective studies:
Initial prevelance: 33-41% Follow-up prevalence:85-90%
33
PH in IPF Lung volumes PH Exercise capacity PH Interstitial remodeling Vascular remodeling
Down-regulation of prostanoid synthases in the interstitium and pulonary arteries of patients with IPF???
IPF lungs show increased ET-1 and ET converting enzyme as compared with normal lungs
PDGF TGF-beta
34
PH in IPF Presence of PH correlated with lower DLCO
and requirement for supplemental oxygen. PH appears to be an important prognostic
factor in IPF. sPAP>50mmHg was found correlated with
poorer survival. Patients with mean PAP>35 had 1.5 fold
increased post lung transplant mortality.
35
Treatment
Supplemental oxygen-beneficial effects on survival?
CCB-no role Anticoagulation-better outcomes
with long term anticoagulation??
36
Treatment Bosentan
BUILD-1:A randomized placebo controlled trial of bosentan in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
No improvment over placebo with respect to 6MWD
A trend to delayed time to death or disease progression
Patients with echocardiographic evidence of severe PH (sPAP>50) were excluded.
37
Treatment
iv epoprostenol: Decreases mPAP but increases
pulmonary shunt flow Current data do not support the use
of iv epoprostenol in PH related to IPF
38
Treatment
Inhaled iloprost Decreases mPAP without changes in
shunt flow in patients with PH related to lung fibrosis. (8 patients, only one of them IPF).
Inhaled iloprost in IPF+PH-this study was completed (www.clinicaltrials.gov) Results?
39
Treatment
Sildenafil A sigle dose of sildenafil decreased
mPAP and shunt flow A study with 14 patients: sildenafil
improved 6MWD
40
Treatment There are potential therapies: Et
antagonists, inhaled prostanoids, phosphodiesterase inhibitors
But long term randomized, controlled trials are necessary to make strict conclusions.
Supplemental oxygen (when necessary) the most important therapy according to current data.
