Editor’s note: These authors aimed to determine whether patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) are more predisposed to coronary atherosclerosis than the general population. In addition, they attempted to identify the risk factors for atherosclerosis in SSc patients. The rationale behind this work is based on the fact that inflammation and endothelial dysfunction are present in both SSc and atherosclerosis.
