Plasma Matrix Metalloproteinases and Heart Failure Outcomes in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: The mechanisms of heart failure (HF) risk in RA remain incompletely understood. HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is over-represented in RA, which may…Abstract Number: 1173 • ACR Convergence 2025
Prevalence of Coronary Artery Involvement in IgG4-Related Disease Detected by Non-Gated Cross-Sectional Imaging
Background/Purpose: IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) classically presents with a mass or diffusely enlarged organ, but it also affects blood vessels of all sizes. Coronary artery involvement…Abstract Number: 2651 • ACR Convergence 2025
Development and Validation of the Scleroderma Clinical Trials Consortium Classification Criteria for Systemic Sclerosis Heart Involvement
Background/Purpose: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) heart involvement (SHI) is a serious disease manifestation associated with high mortality. This study presents newly developed classification criteria to enable…Abstract Number: 1166 • ACR Convergence 2025
Biomarkers Associated with Left Atrial Structure and Function in Individuals with Psoriasis
Background/Purpose: Individuals with psoriasis are at increased risk of developing heart disease. Echocardiographic parameters of impaired left atrial (LA) strain (Peak atrial contraction and longitudinal…Abstract Number: 2531 • ACR Convergence 2025
Coronary periarteritis in IgG4-Related Disease
Background/Purpose: IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is characterized by chronic inflammation and fibrosis, which can affect multiple organs, especially the pancreas, salivary glands, and retroperitoneum (1). It…Abstract Number: 1030 • ACR Convergence 2025
Predictors of Incident Atrial Fibrillation in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients: A Population Based Cohort Study
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has been associated with an increased risk of developing atrial fibrillation (AF). However, recent data on trends in incidence of AF…Abstract Number: 2490 • ACR Convergence 2025
Unmasking Mortality Risk: The Impact of Systemic Sclerosis in Stress-Induced Cardiomyopathy
Background/Purpose: Stress-induced cardiomyopathy (SIC), also known as Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM), is characterized by acute left ventricular dysfunction, often triggered by emotional or physical stress. In…Abstract Number: 0669 • ACR Convergence 2025
Clinical and Laboratory Factors Associated With Biopsy-Confirmed Antimalarial-Induced Cardiomyopathy
Background/Purpose: Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is widely prescribed in rheumatology, particularly for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Though generally safe, HCQ can cause rare…Abstract Number: 2413 • ACR Convergence 2025
Hydroxychloroquine and Adverse Cardiovascular Outcomes in Pregnant Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is a medication used in SLE during pregnancy. An adverse effect of HCQ includes cardiotoxicity. Hormonal changes during pregnancy may trigger SLE…Abstract Number: 0655 • ACR Convergence 2025
Blood pressure remains elevated in patients initiating voclosporin with low baseline blood pressure: evidence from patients in routine clinical care
Background/Purpose: Hypertension was a common adverse event in RCTs testing voclosporin, an oral calcineurin inhibitor approved in 2021 to treat lupus nephritis (LN). In these…
