Anti-TNF Therapy Induces Positive Changes In The Lipoprotein Profile Of RA Patientes. Results Of a Prospective Study
Background/Purpose: Anti-TNF therapy induces elevations in total cholesterol levels although does not seem to modify the atherogenic index. Otherwise, it appears to have a cardiovascular…Abstract Number: 2780 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Cumulative Exposure To Elevated Inflammatory Markers Is Associated With Increased Burden Of Atherosclerosis In Psoriatic Arthritis Patients: A Cohort Study
Background/Purpose: Cardiovascular morbidity is increased in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Traditional cardiovascular risk factors do not fully explain this excessive risk. It is unclear…Abstract Number: 402 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Can Modulators Of Inflammation Serve As Biomarkers For Subclinical Atherosclerosis In Rheumatoid Arthritis?
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is independently associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and premature atherosclerosis. Mechanisms of atherosclerosis include (1) Endothelial dysfunction/activation mediated…Abstract Number: 2763 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Carotid Atherosclerosis As a Predictor Of Mortality In Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have higher mortality than do persons of the same age and sex without RA. This is due in part…Abstract Number: 384 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Carotid Artery Plaques Are Associated With Coronary Atherosclerosis In Patients With Inflammatory Joint Diseases Independent Of Several Cardiovascular Risk Calculators
Background/Purpose: Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and carotid plaque (CP) have been shown to have increased risk of future acute coronary syndrome. We have established…Abstract Number: 2343 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Assessment Of Subclinical Atherosclerosis (Flow Mediated Dilatation and arterial stiffness) After 24 Weeks Of a Tocilizumab Therapy In 22 Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Increased incidence of cardiovascular diseases and sub-clinical atherosclerosis have been observed in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Inflammation and traditional risk factors could be involved in…Abstract Number: 386 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Rheumatoid Arthritis Is Associated With Systemic Inflammation In Coronary Vessels
Background/Purpose: Patients with a chronic inflammatory disease (CID), particularly rheumatoid arthritis (RA), have an increased risk of fatal myocardial infarction (MI), as compared to the…Abstract Number: 1975 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Cardiovascular Risk Stratification In Rheumatic Diseases : Carotid Ultrasound Is More Sensitive Than Coronary Artery Calcification Score To Detect Subclinical atherosclerosis In Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a disease associated to accelerated atherogenesis leading to increased incidence of cardiovascular (CV) mortality. Adequate stratification of the CV risk…Abstract Number: 387 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Left Ventricular Myocardial Tissue In Rheumatoid Arthritis Shows Systemic Inflammation After Fatal Myocardial Infarction
Background/Purpose: Patients with a chronic inflammatory disease (CID), particularly rheumatoid arthritis (RA), have an increased risk of fatal myocardial infarction (MI) and a diminished survival…Abstract Number: 596 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Evolution of Atherosclerosis in Psoriatic Arthritis: Is the Former an Independent Inflammatory Process?
Background/Purpose: A non-invasive study focusing on the structural and functional properties of the carotid arteries was carried out in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients. Increased cardiovascular…Abstract Number: 1262 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients with Higher Disease Severity and Subclinical Carotid Plaque Experience More Cardiovascular Events Despite a Favorable Conventional Cadiovascular Risk Profiles
Background/Purpose: It has been shown that patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) experience cardiovascular (CV) events more often than expected. Increased risks of CV diseases in…Abstract Number: 629 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Inflammatory Biomarkers of Atherosclerosis and Oxidative Stress Are Associated with Disease Flare in SLE
Background/Purpose: Although our current serologic measures of disease activity are useful for predicting flare in some patients, other patients experience disease flare in the absence…Abstract Number: 1261 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Epicardial Adipose Tissue Is Associated with Cardiometabolic Risk and the Metabolic Syndrome in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have increased coronary atherosclerosis and this may be related to their increased prevalence of visceral adiposity, insulin resistance, and…Abstract Number: 647 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Adjusted Framingham Risk Factor Scoring for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Results from an Inception Cohort Followed for Eight Years
Background/Purpose : There is a high prevalence of premature atherosclerosis among patients with SLE, with a risk 7-9 times that of the general population. The…Abstract Number: 1259 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Association Between Subclinical Atherosclerosis and Bone Mineral Density in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with a higher risk of osteoporosis (OP) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). This cross-sectional study was undertaken to identify links…
