Summary
This study looks at whether a protein called catestatin in the blood can help doctors understand heart and blood vessel damage in people with systemic sclerosis (a disease that causes hardening of the skin and internal organs). Researchers will compare catestatin levels in 70 adults with systemic sclerosis to those in healthy volunteers. The goal is to see if catestatin could be used as a simple blood test to track disease activity and severity.
