EULAR Course on Capillaroscopy and Rheumatic Diseases
This bi-annual (basic and advanced) course is intended to teach the attendees the proper methodology and practical use of the capillaroscopic investigation of the nailfold bed in normal and pathological conditions at two levels of expertise.
The attendees of the basic course will learn how to distinguish the different nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NC) patterns characterizing the major connective tissue diseases associated or not with secondary Raynaud's phenomen (RP).
The attendees of the advanced course will improve their basic skillness with integrated lessons on practical application of NV in case resolution, prognostic value and therapy follow up with updated integrations to their expertise on the field.
Participants of both courses will be involved in theoretical and practical capillaroscopic sessions involving rheumatic patients.
At the end of the course the basic attendees will have learnt the use of the capillaroscopic tools and will be able to recognize and describe all the major NC patterns. At the end the advanced attendants will have improved their skillness in NV by making differential diagnosis on living clinical cases and discussing the prognostic value of quantified NV in the disease follow up.
