Inflammatory Rheumatic Disorders and Bone
Inflammatory joint diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, as well as other rheumatic conditions, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and ankylosing spondylitis, comprise a heterogeneous group of joint disorders that are all associated with extra-articular side effects, including bone loss and fractures. The concept of osteoimmunology is based on growing insights into the links between th...
متن کاملArterial Distensibility in Chronic Inflammatory Rheumatic Disorders
The pulse wave velocity (PWV), as an indicator of arterial distensibility, may play an important role in the stratification of patients based on the cardiovascular risk. PWV inversely correlates with arterial distensibility and relative arterial compliance. Decreased arterial distensibility alters arterial blood pressure and flow dynamics, and disturbes coronary perfusion. Systemic immune and i...
متن کاملAtherosclerosis and Rheumatic Diseases
Until recently, patients with chronic autoimmune diseases were dying at a young age from their disease. However, with the emergence of biologic drugs and disease-targeted therapies, longevity in this patient population has increased. In addition, physicians have become more aware of the long-term sequelae of chronic inflammation focusing mainly on the development of premature atherosclerosis. I...
متن کاملLeader Inflammation-mediated rheumatic diseases and atherosclerosis
For over 20 years, premature coronary heart disease has been recognised as a major determinant of morbidity and mortality in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Less appreciated is the fact that the same holds true for patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). These two autoimmune diseases share a propensity to target women of childbearing age and a treatment armamentarium that inc...
