Red Cell Distribution Width Is Associated with ASCVD Risk Score and CVD in RA After Initiation of Methotrexate
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has been shown to be associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality. Red cell distribution width (RDW) represents…Abstract Number: 1193 • ACR Convergence 2020
Unsupervised Molecular Profile Clustering in the Serum of Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients Identifies Groups with Differential CV-risk SCORE: Modulation by Biological Therapies
Background/Purpose: To identify specific molecular profiles associated to the enhanced cardiovascular (CV)-risk present in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients and their modulation by biologic disease modifying…Abstract Number: 1286 • ACR Convergence 2020
Personalizing Cardiovascular Risk Prediction for Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus by Physician Global Assessment of Disease Activity
Background/Purpose: The risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), including myocardial infarction and stroke, is higher in SLE than in the general population. The excess risk of…Abstract Number: 045 • 2020 Pediatric Rheumatology Symposium
No-Shows: a Search for Modifiable Risk Factors
Background/Purpose: Missed ambulatory visits, or “no-shows,” limit patient access, increase costs, occupy provider time, and lead to worse patient outcomes. Only a few studies have…Abstract Number: 2539 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Patient Perception of Benefit and Risks Associated with Hydroxychloroquine Use in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)
Background/Purpose: Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is recommended in all patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Studies suggest that a significant proportion of subjects are non-adherent to daily…Abstract Number: 1758 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Development of Ultrasound Detectable Arthritis Among ACPA Positive Subjects with Musculoskeletal Symptoms: The Risk RA Prospective Study
Background/Purpose: Studies have shown that anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) are a risk factor for the development of arthritis. We aimed to investigate in a prospective…Abstract Number: 1960 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Pleiotropy of Genetic Predisposition to Rheumatoid Arthritis Increases the Risk for Autoimmune Disease
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disorder that is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, cardiometabolic disorders, and autoimmune disease. Thus, we…Abstract Number: 2136 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Cardiovascular Risk Evaluation in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Rheumatoid Arthritis: Preliminary Results from the “Cardiovascular Obesity and Rheumatic DISease (CORDIS)” Study Group of the Italian Society of Rheumatology
Background/Purpose: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients present high cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality. International guidelines suggest estimating CV-risk in these patients,…Abstract Number: 2322 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Toward Cardiovascular Risk Stratification in Rheumatoid Arthritis: Use of Regression Tree Analyses to Evaluate Impact of Serum Biomarkers and Cardiovascular Risk Factors on Carotid Intima Media Thickness
Background/Purpose: Both traditional cardiovascular (CV) risk factors and disease-related factors contribute to the increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Mechanisms of…
