Article Excerpts about Raynaud's disease
A disorder of the small blood
vessels of the extremities, causing coldness and reduced blood flow. In
response to cold or anxiety, these vessels go into spasms, causing pain,
the sensations of burning and tingling, and color changes. (Source: excerpt from Handout on Health Scleroderma: NIAMS)
Raynaud's phenomenon is a disorder that affects the blood
vessels in the fingers, toes, ears, and nose. This disorder is
characterized by episodic attacks, called vasospastic attacks, that
cause the blood vessels in the digits (fingers and toes) to constrict
(narrow). Raynaud's phenomenon can occur on its own, or it can be
secondary to another condition such as scleroderma or lupus. (Source: excerpt from Questions and Answers about Raynaud's Phenomenon: NIAMS)
Raynaud's Phenomenon is a Disorder of the small blood vessels that feed the
skin. During an attack of Raynaud's, these arteries contract briefly, limiting
blood flow. This is called a vasospasm. Deprived of the blood's oxygen, the skin
first turns white then blue. The skin turns red as the arteries relax and blood
flows again. Extremities--hands and feet--are most commonly affected, but
Raynaud's can attack other areas such as the nose and ears.
