Increased Concentration of Large Very Low Density Lipoprotein Particles Associates with Progression of Carotid Atherosclerosis in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have a marked increase in cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality compared to the general population. Conventional lipid profiles are…Abstract Number: 1474 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Increased Levels of Lipoprotein(a) in RA Patients with Cardiovascular Disease

Exploring the Link Between RA Disease Activity, Lipid Levels, and Cardiovascular Disease in an Early Inflammatory Arthritis Cohort
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has been established as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), with systemic inflammation being linked with atherosclerosis. Traditional CVD risk…Abstract Number: 2051 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease Predate the Onset of Symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are at increased risk of developing cardiovascular (CV) comorbidity compared with the general population. Contradictory results concerning CV disease…Abstract Number: 2263 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Apolipoprotein E Regulates Inflammation and Joint Destruction during Antigen-Induced Arthritis (AIA)
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease largely driven by immune complexes and their interaction with FcγRs present on macrophages within the synovium.…Abstract Number: 2549 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Effect of Interleukin-6 Receptor Blockade on Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin Type 9 Serum Levels in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has been acknowledged to increase cardiovascular mortality probably due, in part, to a lipid profile different from that observed in the…Abstract Number: 2607 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Favorable Changes in Lipid Profile with Additive DMARD Therapy in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients Failing Methotrexate Monotherapy

Implementing an Electronic Medical Recorded-Based Clinical Decision Support Tool Did Not Improve Cardiovascular Risk Screening in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients
Background/Purpose: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death among individuals with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The 2010 EULAR guidelines recommend annual CV risk assessment…Abstract Number: 2127 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Exploring the Lipid Paradox Theory in Rheumatoid Arthritis: Subclinical Coronary Atherosclerosis Is Higher Among Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients with the Lowest Circulating Low Density Lipoprotein Concentrations Compared with Controls
Background/Purpose: Several recent studies have identified RA patients with very low levels of circulating total and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) to be at particularly…Abstract Number: 2658 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Low Disease Activity Is Associated with Higher HDL and a Trend to Lower Insulin Resistance in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients
Background/Purpose: Treat to target (T2T) trials in RA to date have focused on the effect of T2T on articular disease without directly addressing cardiovascular risk.…Abstract Number: 484 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
