title: Comparative assessment of the effects of vasodilators on peripheral vascular reactivity in patients with systemic scleroderma and Raynaud's phenomenon: color Doppler flow imaging study.
abstract: The aim of the present study was assessment of peripheral vascular reactivity during cold test effects of different types of vasodilators on vascular resistance in patients with progressive systemic sclerosis and Raynaud's phenomenon with use of color Doppler flow imaging of upper extremity.
