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: 2827 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Effect Of Biologic Agents On Lipids and Cardiovascular Risk In Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients
Background/Purpose: The risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) is increased in patients (pts) with RA. The interplay between traditional CV risk factors and inflammatory burden may…Abstract Number: 2332 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Assessment of Lipid Changes and Infection Risk In Diabetic and Nondiabetic Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis Treated With Tofacitinib
Background/Purpose: Tofacitinib is a novel, oral Janus kinase inhibitor for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Studies have shown an increased prevalence of diabetes mellitus…Abstract Number: 2309 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Quantifying The Gap Between General Population Guidelines and Expert Opinion For Cardiovascular Risk Management In Rheumatic Disease Patients
Background/Purpose: Cardiovascular (CV) risk is higher among rheumatic disease patients than the general population. However, CV risk management guidelines calibrated for the rheumatic disease population…Abstract Number: 1280 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Role of Sphingosine-1-Phosphate Receptor 3 Signaling in Murine Collagen-Induced Arthiritis
Background/Purpose: Sphingolipids represent a major class of lipids that are ubiquitously expressed in eukaryotic cell membranes. Through the interaction with a family of five G-protein-coupled…Abstract Number: 1166 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
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: 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…
