Reversing myocardial microvascular disease in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with increased cardiovascular mortality. This is regarded as being due to accelerated coronary atherosclerosis. We describe a 62-year-old man with seropositive erosive RA and extraarticular manifestations but no history of cardiovascular disease. Noninvasive assessment of myocardial blood flow by adenosine stressed thallium scanning showed reversible isch...
متن کاملMyocardial dysfunction in rheumatoid arthritis: epidemiology and pathogenesis
Data from population- and clinic-based epidemiologic studies of rheumatoid arthritis patients suggest that individuals with rheumatoid arthritis are at risk for developing clinically evident congestive heart failure. Many established risk factors for congestive heart failure are over-represented in rheumatoid arthritis and likely account for some of the increased risk observed. In particular, d...
متن کاملPulmonary Dysfunction in Rheumatoid Arthritis
involvement has been known to occur frequently in systemic lupus erythematosus and occasionally in rheumatoid arthritis. Although numerous clinical and pathologic descriptions of these conditions exist, information concerning their pulmonary pathophysiology has been scarce. This report presents 13 cases of rheumatoid disease and eight of systemic lupus erythematosus associated with pulmonary co...
متن کاملC-reactive protein: the underlying cause of microvascular dysfunction in rheumatoid arthritis.
OBJECTIVE RA is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory condition associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Endothelial dysfunction, a marker of early atherosclerotic disease, occurs in some inflammatory diseases but this relationship has not been previously explored within the microvasculature of patients with RA. We therefore assessed forearm microvascular endothelial functi...
متن کاملComparing bone mineral density in rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis
Background: Changes in patients’ bone mineral density (BMD) is one of the problems in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, which can be due to the use of corticosteroid drugs to reduce patients' symptoms or due to the aging process in patients. In this study, we decided to compare BMD in patients with psoriatic arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Methods: This study as a cross-sectional descrip...
