OBJECTIVE
Accelerated atherosclerosis has become a major problem in rheumatic inflammatory disease. The aim here was to analyze carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) in spondyloarthritis (SpA) patients and correlate this with clinical parameters and inflammatory markers.
METHODS
Cross-sectional
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between immunoinflammatory markers and indexes of arterial stiffness in patients with seronegative spondyloarthritis (SpA).
METHODS
We enrolled consecutive patients with inflammatory seronegative SpA referred to a rheumatology
OBJECTIVE
The spondyloarthritides (SpA) are associated with an increased cardiovascular risk. We studied cardiovascular risk factors in patients with SpA.
METHODS
The following risk factors were assessed in SpA patients and healthy controls: smoking, family history of premature ischemic heart
OBJECTIVE
To analyze lipid changes in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA) treated with biologic agents or tofacitinib in randomized clinical trials (RCTs).
METHODS
A systematic literature search was performed, using the Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library,
BACKGROUND
Psoriasis is an important clinical feature in spondyloarthritis. However, the influence of psoriasis on the clinical, functional and imaging features of patients with inflammatory back pain (IBP) related to spondyloarthritis is not known.
OBJECTIVE
To determine the prevalence of psoriasis
OBJECTIVE
New evidence has lightened the linkage between psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and the development of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease (CVD). We aimed to describe the prevalence of cardiovascular events and associated risk factors among patients with PsA.
METHODS
Retrospective
The use of anti-TNF-α has been associated with several changes in lipid profile, although some study results are conflicting. The knowledge of this fact is of great importance when one observes at the association between rheumatic diseases and accelerated atherogenesis. The aim of this analysis was
Lipoprotein metabolism was investigated in 69 patients with untreated active rheumatoid arthritis (n = 48) and in seronegative spondylarthropathies (n = 21). The patients had high inflammatory activity as measured by erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein (CRP). Serum cholesterol and
OBJECTIVE
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with an increased mortality rate from cardiovascular disease. This may relate to insulin resistance and dyslipidemia, which were both reported to correlate with the acute phase response in RA. We investigated whether insulin resistance and
OBJECTIVE
Cardiovascular morbidity and mortality seem to be increased in ankylosing spondylitis, perhaps as the result of biological inflammation and consecutive dyslipidemia. This study aims to investigate the impact of TNF alpha-inhibitors, an effective treatment, on lipid
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effects of aerobic exercise in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS).
METHODS
Seventy patients classified with AS by the modified New York criteria were included. The patients were randomly assigned into 2 groups. The intervention group (IG) performed 50 min of walking
