Observations on the Raynaud's disease

G Agrifoglio, G B Agus

    The Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery
    |November 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    Idiopathic Raynaud's disease, characterized by digital artery occlusion, remains prevalent, particularly in women. Early diagnostic screening is crucial for effective prevention and treatment of Raynaud's phenomenon.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Clinical Medicine
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Raynaud's phenomenon cases with known causes are increasing due to improved diagnostics.
    • Effective prevention and treatment strategies exist for Raynaud's phenomenon.
    • Diagnostic screening is essential for managing Raynaud's phenomenon.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze clinical parameters of Raynaud's phenomenon cases.
    • To differentiate between idiopathic Raynaud's disease and secondary Raynaud's syndrome.
    • To investigate the prevalence and characteristics of different Raynaud's phenomenon types.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective study of 68 Raynaud's phenomenon cases (1971-1974).
    • Classification into idiopathic (disease) and secondary (syndrome) forms.
    • Clinical parameter examination and brachial angiography for idiopathic cases.

    Main Results:

    • Idiopathic Raynaud's disease comprised 69% (47 cases), with a mean age of 45 and female predominance (33:14).
    • Secondary Raynaud's syndrome accounted for 31% (21 cases), with a mean age of 31 and male predominance (16:5).
    • Brachial angiography revealed digital artery occlusion in most idiopathic cases.

    Conclusions:

    • Idiopathic Raynaud's disease continues to be the predominant form, especially among women.
    • Distinct demographic and etiological differences exist between idiopathic and secondary Raynaud's.
    • Diagnostic screening aids in identifying and managing Raynaud's phenomenon effectively.
