Treatment-Naïve, Early Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients Demonstrate Reversible Abnormalities of Vascular Function on Cardiac MRI with RA Therapy with Preliminary Suggestion of Greater Improvement with Anti-TNF Compared to MTX/Conventional Therapy – a First, RCT Derived Longitudinal Study
Background/Purpose: We previously reported abnormal cardiac MRI (CMR)-determined aortic stiffness in patients with early, treatment-naive RA1,2. We now report on whether this vascular stiffness is…Abstract Number: 562 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Low Inflammation on Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis That Achieved Sustained Clinical Remission on Adalimumab
Background/Purpose: ACR and EULAR recommend bDMARD tapering in patients (pts) with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who achieved stable clinical remission. Yet, there are limited systematically collected…Abstract Number: 863 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Combining Cardiac Magnetic Resonance and Right Heart Catheterization to Evaluate Right Ventricular Function for the Prognosis Prediction in Patients with Connective Tissue Diseases and Pulmonary Hypertension
Background/Purpose: Pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with connective tissue diseases (CTD-PAH), particularly PAH associated with systemic sclerosis (SSc-PAH), has a poor prognosis compared with other PAH.…Abstract Number: 952 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Effusion-Synovitis and Infrapatellar Fat Pad Edema Differentiate Accelerated Knee Osteoarthritis: Data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative
Background/Purpose: Accelerated knee osteoarthritis (AKOA) is a unique endotype of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) that is characterized by a sudden onset of advance-stage disease and greater…Abstract Number: 954 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
A New Way to Think about Composite Magnetic Resonance Imaging Scores to Measure Osteoarthritis Severity and Progression
Background/Purpose: For some rheumatologic diseases (e.g. lupus), separate scores evaluate cumulative damage and disease activity. No such strategy exists for osteoarthritis (OA). The prevailing approach…Abstract Number: 1646 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Prevalence of Spondyloarthritis in Patients with Anterior Uveitis
Background/Purpose: Anterior uveitis (AU) is a common extraarticular manifestation in spondyloarthritis (SpA). The disease can precede the typical axial and peripheral features. Additionally, some studies…Abstract Number: 2196 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Kinetics of Tissue-Specific Distribution of 18f-Fluorodeoxyglucose in Positron Emission Tomography in Large Vessel Vasculitis
Background/Purpose: 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET may be used to quantify vascular inflammation in large-vessel vasculitis (LVV). Quantitative analysis of arterial FDG uptake has not been standardized. Delayed…Abstract Number: 306 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Role of Inflammation in the Evolution of MRI Erosions in the Feet of Patients with Early RA
Background/Purpose: Patients with aggressive RA develop early structural damage. As persistent inflammation is associated with bone erosions, assessing inflammatory activity may be key in treatment…Abstract Number: 319 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Patterns of Muscle Oedema, Atrophy and Fatty Replacement in the Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies: A Single-Centre Retrospective Review of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Data
Background/Purpose: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been used as a non-invasive tool to aid diagnosis and monitor disease activity in the idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs).…Abstract Number: 390 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Severe Axial and Pelvifemoral Muscle Damage in Immune-Mediated Necrotizing Myopathy Evaluated By Whole-Body MRI
Background/Purpose: Immune-mediated necrotizing myopathies (IMNM) are a severe condition with early muscle damage attested by MRI of thigh muscles. Presence of damage in the other…Abstract Number: 420 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Accelerated Knee Osteoarthritis Is Characterized By Destabilizing Meniscal Tears and Pre-Radiographic Structural Disease Burden
Background/Purpose: A subset of adults who develop knee osteoarthritis (KOA) quickly progress from no radiographic disease to advanced-stage disease often in ≤12 months. Adults with…Abstract Number: 431 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Early Pre-Radiographic Structural Pathology Precedes the Onset of Accelerated Knee Osteoarthritis: Data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative
Background/Purpose: Individuals that develop accelerated knee osteoarthritis (AKOA) have more frequent knee pain, decreased physical function, and are more likely to receive a knee replacement…Abstract Number: 1L • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Efficacy and Safety of Intra-Articular Sprifermin in Symptomatic Radiographic Knee Osteoarthritis: Results of the 2-Year Primary Analysis from a 5-Year Randomised, Placebo-Controlled, Phase II Study
Background/Purpose: Sprifermin, a novel recombinant human fibroblast growth factor-18 is currently investigated as a potential disease-modifying osteoarthritis (OA) drug. Two-year primary data from a 5-year…Abstract Number: 236 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Are Magnetic Resonance Imaging Features of the Hand Associated with Patient Reported Physical Function, Global Assessment of Disease Activity, Pain and Health Related Quality of Life in Rheumatoid Arthritis in Clinical Remission? – Longitudinal Results from an Observational Cohort
Background/Purpose: To assess whether magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) inflammation and damage in the wrist and hand of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients are associated with patient-reported…Abstract Number: 783 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
European League Against Rheumatisms Recommendations for the Use of Imaging in Large Vessel Vasculitis in Clinical Practice
Background/Purpose: Modern imaging modalities including ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT) and 18F-FDG positron emission tomography (PET/CT) have been increasingly used in primary…
