Endothelial Dysfunction in Axial Spondyloarthritis and Its Association with Clinical Disease Characteristics
Background/Purpose: It has been described an increased presence of cardiovascular risk factors and subclinical atherosclerosis in patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). Several studies have shown…Abstract Number: 1216 • ACR Convergence 2022
Subclinical Vascular Disease Is More Prevalent in above-30 Adult Fibromyalgia: A Preliminary Report of a Hospital-based Cross-sectional Study from South India
Background/Purpose: Fibromyalgia is known to be associated with cardiovascular events and mortality. We aimed to compare the prevalence of subclinical atherosclerosis (SAT), a surrogate marker…Abstract Number: 0274 • ACR Convergence 2021
Angiopoietin-Like Protein 4, Apolipoprotein C3 and Lipoprotein Lipase Axis in the Abnormal Lipid Profile of Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis: Relation to Subclinical Atheromatosis
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with an increase in cardiovascular (CV) risk, attributed, among other factors, to the existence of an abnormal lipid profile.…Abstract Number: 0448 • ACR Convergence 2020
Disease-related factors associated to atherosclerotic disease in axial spondyloarthritis. A mutlicenter study with 806 patients.
Background/Purpose: Cardiovascular (CV) mortality and morbidity is increased in ankylosing spondylitits (AS) due to a process of accelerated atherosclerosis. The disease-related factors involved in this…Abstract Number: 1182 • ACR Convergence 2020
Increased Prevalence of Carotid Atherosclerosis in Postmenopausal Women with Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Case Control Study
Background/Purpose: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the primary cause of mortality in women in developed countries. CVD risk rises with age, yet for women there is…Abstract Number: 1189 • ACR Convergence 2020
Serum High-sensitive Cardiac Troponin at Baseline Predict Cardiovascular Events in Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: In rheumatoid arthritis (RA), excess mortality and inflammation has been attributed to cardiovascular (CV) diseases. High-sensitivity cardiac troponins (hscTnT) allow measurement of cardiac troponin…Abstract Number: 1330 • ACR Convergence 2020
Subclinical atherosclertoic disease in ankylosing spondylitis and non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis. A multicenter study with 806 patients.
Background/Purpose: Cardiovascular (CV) mortality and morbidity is increased in ankylosing spondylitits (AS) as compared to the general population. Carotid plaque, considered as a surrogate marker…Abstract Number: 1331 • ACR Convergence 2020
Carotid Ultrasound Findings in Psoriatic Arthritis: A Case-control Study
Background/Purpose: Patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The carotid ultrasound, which measures both carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) and…Abstract Number: 1393 • ACR Convergence 2020
Systemic Sclerosis: Subclinical Aterosclerosis and Morbimortality
Background/Purpose: Rheumatic diseases are associated with accelerated atherosclerosis, and an increase in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. This process is mediated by classic cardiovascular risk factors…
