Risk of Cardiovascular Events According to Biological Agent Exposure in Patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis: A Korean Population-based Study
Background/Purpose: Patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) have a higher risk of cardiovascular events than controls. Although biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) are efficacious in treating…Abstract Number: 0391 • ACR Convergence 2023
Biologic Use Regulates the Impact of Inflammation on Ischemic Cardiovascular Risk in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Chronic inflammation contributes to enhanced cardiovascular risk in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Biologic disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) control inflammation in many conventional synthetic DMARD…Abstract Number: 0580 • ACR Convergence 2023
Performance of Conventional Cardiovascular Risk Scores in Identifying Subclinical Atherosclerosis in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of mortality in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Role of conventional risk scores which predict cardiovascular events, to…Abstract Number: 0858 • ACR Convergence 2023
Randomized, Controlled, Double-Blind Trial on the Impact of Rosuvastatin on Sublinical Markers of Atherosclerosis in Patients with ANCA-Associated Vasculitis
Background/Purpose: Despite more effective therapeutic strategies in ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV), there is still a significant risk of morbidity and mortality, mainly due to infection, and…Abstract Number: 1280 • ACR Convergence 2023
Systemic Inflammation Is Associated with Incident Valvular Heart Disease in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Multicenter, Prospective Cohort Study
Background/Purpose: The risk of aortic stenosis is increased in people with RA and valvular heart disease (VHD) is among the most over-represented causes of cardiovascular…Abstract Number: 1468 • ACR Convergence 2023
Prediction of Cardiovascular Disease in Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Using a Machine Learning Algorithm for Time-to-Event Outcomes: Random Survival Forest
Background/Purpose: Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have higher risks of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD). Traditional risk factors do not adequately capture the risk of…Abstract Number: 2106 • ACR Convergence 2023
Evaluation of the Construct of Constitutional Stiffness (CS) in Anti-CCP-Antibody-Positive Rheumatoid Arthritis (ACPA+RA) and Controls
Background/Purpose: The risk of developing ACPA+RA, predictors of severity and causes of excess cardiovascular disease (CVD) are incompletely understood. We have observed that RA patients…Abstract Number: 2428 • ACR Convergence 2023
Unclosing Premature Mortality Gap Among Gout Patients in the US General Population, Independent of Serum Urate and Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Risk Factors
Background/Purpose: A recent UK study reported a transient increased cardiovascular risk after gout flare episodes [Cipolletta et al. JAMA 2022], which may translate to premature…Abstract Number: 0419 • ACR Convergence 2023
No Clinically Relevant Changes in Coagulation Activation Between Patients Initiating TNF-blockers versus JAK-inhibitors
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with a 2-fold higher risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) compared with the general population. The immune system and hemostatic…Abstract Number: 0634 • ACR Convergence 2023
Prevalence and Associations of Anaemia in Systemic Sclerosis Patients in a National Observational Cohort; Results from the Australian Scleroderma Cohort Study
Background/Purpose: Anaemia in systemic sclerosis (SSc) is under-studied and under-characterised. Its prevalence amongst SSc patients is not well described, nor are its effects on outcomes…Abstract Number: 0898 • ACR Convergence 2023
The Role of the Endothelin System in the Development of TLR7-accelerated Lupus-Associated Cardiac Dysfunction
Background/Purpose: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease characterized by autoantibody formation and immune complex deposition in target organs. While it is known that…Abstract Number: 1283 • ACR Convergence 2023
Atherogenic Index of Plasma Identifies Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Increased Carotid Intima-Media Thickness
Background/Purpose: The atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) is a novel marker to identify cardiovascular disease. Recently, AIP was reported to be related to long-term cardiovascular…Abstract Number: 1604 • ACR Convergence 2023
First and Recurrent Thrombosis Risk After 4,454 Patient-Years of Follow-Up: Prospective Results from the AntiPhospholipid Syndrome Alliance for Clinical Trials and InternatiOnal Networking (APS ACTION) Clinical Database and Repository (“Registry”)
Background/Purpose: The APS ACTION Registry was created to study the natural course of disease over 10 years in persistently antiphospholipid antibody (aPL)-positive patients with or…
