The objective of this prospective study was to evaluate right ventricular function and pulmonary arterial compliance (PAC=stroke volume/pulse pressure) at rest and during exercise in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) with normal mean pulmonary artery pressures (mPAP) at rest, mildly elevated mPAP (mPAP 21-24mmHg) and manifest pulmonary hypertension (mPAP≥25mmHg).
