1 Distribution of diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) among 243 scleroderma patients who underwent right heart catheterisation (RHC) at the Royal Free Hospital (London, UK) in whom full lung function at the time of diagnosis was available. Distribution of diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) among 243 scleroderma patients who underwent right heart catheterisation (RHC) at the Royal Free Hospital (London, UK) in whom full lung function at the time of diagnosis was available. The results demonstrate that <10% had a DLCO >60% pred and only one patient had a DLCO >80% pred. mPAP: mean pulmonary artery pressure; % pred: % predicted. Johannes P. Schwaiger et al.
