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: 1941 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Imaging Atherosclerotic Plaque Inflammation In RA: Methodology and Initial Findings In a Single Centre Cohort
Background/Purpose: Chronic inflammation in RA may contribute to an unstable atherosclerotic plaque phenotype. Dynamic contrast enhanced MRI (DCE MRI) can be used to image carotid…Abstract Number: 391 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Insulin Resistance As A Risk Factor For Subclinical Atherosclerosis In Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Insulin resistance (IR) is a state in which a high insulin concentration is associated with an inadequate response to glucose with normal or high…Abstract Number: 1724 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Role Of Low-Grade Inflammation In The Association Between Uric Acid and Atherosclerosis: The Codam Study
Background/Purpose: Uric acid may be involved in the atherosclerotic process by increasing the level of low-grade inflammation. The aims of this study were: 1) to…Abstract Number: 365 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Oral Calcium Supplementation Is Associated With Subclinical Atherosclerosis In Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Recent studies in the general population highlight possible adverse cardiovascular effects with calcium supplementation; however, the association between calcium intake and subclinical markers of…
