Anti-Inflammatory Property Of HDL In NOD1 Ligand Induced Kawasaki Arteritis In Mice
Background/Purpose: Atherosclerosis is a chronic metabolic disease of inflammatory processes. Immune cells including monocytes are recruited to the subintimal lesion of the vascular wall and…Abstract Number: 450 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Tocilizumab Monotherapy Compared With Adalimumab Monotherapy In Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis: An Evaluation Of High-Density Lipoprotein Composition
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients (pts) are at increased risk for cardiovascular (CV) disease. Although analysis of lipids such as LDL-C and HDL-C is useful…Abstract Number: 385 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Systemic Inflammation In Patients With Inflammatory Joint Disease Does Not Influence Statin Dose Needed To Obtain Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Goal In Cardiovascular Prevention
Background/Purpose: There is a lipid paradox in rheumatoid arthritis (RA): despite low lipids influenced by systemic inflammation, there is an increased risk of cardiovascular (CV)…Abstract Number: 342 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
TNF Blockage In Psoriatic Arthritis: Long-Term Effect On Lipid Profile
Background/Purpose: Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients have increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Altered lipid profile is an important risk factor for the development of these complications.…Abstract Number: 334 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Joint Effect Of Carotid Ultrasound and Preventive Cardiology Referral On Cardiovascular Risk Factor Modification in Psoriatic Arthritis Patients
Background/Purpose: Cardiovascular disease risk is elevated in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) compared to the general population. Prior studies have demonstrated suboptimal evaluation and control of modifiable…Abstract Number: 243 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Association Between Metabolic Syndrome and Hand Osteoarthritis – Data From The Framingham Study
Background/Purpose: Metabolic factors may have a negative effect on cartilage, and may be especially relevant in the pathogenesis of hand OA. Our aim was to…Abstract Number: 58 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Saturated Fatty Acids Act Synergistically With Interleukin 1 Beta To Increase Inflammation, Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Cell Death In Human Articular Chondrocytes
Background/Purpose: Obesity is a major risk factor for the development of osteoarthritis (OA). Altered biomechanics have been postulated as the main causative mechanism, but recent…Abstract Number: 52 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Altered Lipid Metabolism In Osteoarthritis With Subsequent Proinflammatory Properties Of Apolipoprotein A-I
Background/Purpose: Osteoarthritis (OA) is associated with a local inflammatory process. It is now considered as a metabolic syndrome rather than due to aging or mechanical…Abstract Number: 1249 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Impact of Statin Use On Lipid Levels in Statin-Naive Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) Vs. Non-RA Subjects: Results From a Population-Based Study
Background/Purpose: Dyslipidemia in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is well recognized. The impact of lipid-lowering medications on lipid levels in patients with RA vs non-RA…
