The Effect of Disease Activity on Cardiovascular Risk Varies According to Rheumatoid Factor and Anticitrullinated Protein Antibody Status in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) activity associates with cardiovascular (CV) risk. Anticitrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) were linked to higher activity and lower remission rates. Treatment responses…Abstract Number: 1557 • ACR Convergence 2024
Estimation of Cardiovascular Risk in Patients with Systemic Sclerosis – Accuracy of Tools Based on SCORE and Its Modifications Compared to Ultrasound Examination of Subclinical Atherosclerosis
Background/Purpose: Patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) have increased cardiovascular (CV) risk due to accelerated atherosclerosis (ATS) caused by systemic inflammation, and vascular impairment. To date,…Abstract Number: 1565 • ACR Convergence 2024
Prevalence and Risk Factors of Lower Extremities Arterial Disease in Systemic Sclerosis: Preliminary Data from a Single Centre Multidisciplinary Study
Background/Purpose: Microvascular changes represent a key step of pathogenic process in Systemic Sclerosis (SSc). However, SSc has been demonstrated to carry an increased risk of…Abstract Number: 1745 • ACR Convergence 2024
Use of Statins and Its Association with Major Adverse Cardiovascular Outcomes with Tofacitinib versus TNF Inhibitors in a Risk-Enriched Population of Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: ORAL Surveillance (NCT02092467; a post-authorization safety study of tofacitinib 5 and 10 mg twice daily [BID] vs TNF inhibitors [TNFi]) found higher incidence of…Abstract Number: 2221 • ACR Convergence 2024
Association Between Serum Uric Acid/Serum Creatinine Index and Carotid Plaque in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic autoimmune disease. The serum uric acid/serum creatinine ratio (SUA/SCr), which represents uric acid levels in the blood…Abstract Number: 2235 • ACR Convergence 2024
The Updated PREVENT (Predicting Risk of CVD EVENTs) Algorithm Is Not Able to Indicate Subclinical Coronary or Carotid Atherosclerosis Better Than the Traditional Pooled Cohort Equations in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Patients with RA are at increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), yet traditional 10-year CVD risk calculators—such as the 2013 Pooled Cohort Equations…Abstract Number: 2239 • ACR Convergence 2024
Age, Seropositivity and Inflammation Determine Risk versus Benefit of Endogenous Estrogens on Coronary Atherosclerosis in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Endogenous estrogens (E) appear cardioprotective in women in the general population. Yet, proinflammatory effects were described in chronic autoimmune diseases depending on stage, cell-type…Abstract Number: 2240 • ACR Convergence 2024
Methotrexate Use Influenced the Effect of Inflammation on Cardiovascular Risk Differently in Anticitrullinated Protein Antibody Negative and Positive Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Disease activity was linked to cardiovascular (CV) risk in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Anticitrullinated protein antibody (ACPA) positivity associated with greater synovial inflammation, tumor necrosis…Abstract Number: 2414 • ACR Convergence 2024
A Retrospective Comparative Analysis of Cardiovascular Risk Factors, Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease and Statin Use as Secondary Prevention in a Cohort of Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus versus Without Rheumatological Disease from a Single-Center Patient Registry
Background/Purpose: Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have increased prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors (RFs), which predispose to higher risk of premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease…Abstract Number: 0156 • ACR Convergence 2024
Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis Are Independent Risk Factors for Non-Fatal Cardiovascular Admissions in Transition-Age Young Adults
Background/Purpose: Psoriasis (PsO) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) are closely linked inflammatory conditions that can affect both children and adults. In children, these diseases are associated…Abstract Number: 0229 • ACR Convergence 2024
An Early Inflammatory Cardiac Phenotype and Association with Future Coronary Plaque Burden in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Patients with RA are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared to the general population. In a prior study of RA patients with…Abstract Number: 0611 • ACR Convergence 2024
Subclinical Atherosclerosis Is Associated with Future Cardiovascular Events in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients at Apparent Low Risk for Cardiovascular Disease: A Longitudinal Prospective Study
Background/Purpose: Cardiovascular events (CVE) are the leading cause of mortality for patients living with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Besides the traditional cardiovascular risk factors, the…Abstract Number: 0838 • ACR Convergence 2024
The Mechanistic Impact of IgA anti-beta-2 Glycoprotein I on Accelerated Atherosclerosis in Primary APS
Background/Purpose: Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an acquired thrombo-inflammatory disease characterized by persistent antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL). APS patients experience significant morbidity and mortality, much of which…Abstract Number: 1157 • ACR Convergence 2024
Reduced Statin Use in Patients with Autoimmune Myopathies and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Compared to Rheumatoid Arthritis and Non-Inflammatory Diseases
Background/Purpose: Rheumatic diseases such as autoimmune myopathy (AIM), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) confer an increased risk for atherosclerotic disease. The 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme…Abstract Number: 1345 • ACR Convergence 2024
Long-term Changes in Coronary Calcium Score Levels Among Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Cohort Study
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients have an increased risk of subclinical cardiovascular (CV) disease and, consequently, a higher incidence of CV events, compared to the…
