- Abstract
To test the hypothesis that in a patient with Raynaud's phenomenon (RP), a difference of >1 degrees C between the fingertips and the dorsum of the hand ['distal-dorsal difference' (DDD), fingers cooler] is specific for underlying structural vascular disease as occurs in systemic sclerosis (SSc), and to evaluate other thermographic parameters in the separation of secondary from primary RP.
