ischemice tranzitorii de paloare, cianoz i hiperemie ca rspuns la frig sau stres emoional. Este mai frecvent la femei, avnd o prevalen general de 10-30%, cu o reprezentare geografic diferit n relaie cu variaiile climatice. Fenomenul Raynaud poate fi primar, ale crui criterii sunt bine stabilite, sau secundar cnd se asociaz cu un spectru larg de boli i necesit o explorare complex pentru realizarea unui diagnostic ct mai precoce. Terapia fenomenului Raynaud se adreseaz elementelor fiziopatologice i are ca obiective: creterea vasodilataiei, reducerea vasoconstriciei, protejarea endoteliului i profilaxia trombozei.
The Raynaud phenomenon is a vasospastic disorder characterized by transient ischemia attacks, manifested clinically by sharply demarcated color changes of blanching, cyanosis and hyperemia in response to cold or emotional stress. It is more common in women, with an estimated prevalence ranging from 10% to 30%, and differences between the surveyed populations, influenced by the climate of the region studied. Raynaud phenomenon may be a primary process, without a definable cause for the vascular events and with well established criteria, or a secondary process, when it may associate a wide broad of disorders that require extensive evaluation for an early diagnosis of a secondary cause. Therapy of Raynaud phenomenon is adressed to pathogenesis and has as main objectives increasing vasodilation, reducing vasospasm, endothelium protection and thrombosis prophylaxis.
