NSAIDs for Osteoarthritis Contribute to Increased CVD Risk
Osteoarthritis is an independent risk factor for increased CVD, and NSAIDs contribute substantially to this risk.
Cardiovascular Disease
Risk for Cardiovascular Deaths Increased With Hip, Knee OA
The risk for cardiovascular deaths is increased among patients with knee and hip osteoarthritis.
Subclinical Cardiovascular Diagnosis May Increase Fall Risk in Older Adults
Subclinical cardiovascular disease (CVD) appears to be an independent risk factor for falls in older adults.
Mortality Rates Underestimated in the Social Security Administration Death Master File
The Social Security Administration Death Master File data appeared unreliable and should not be used alone by researchers to estimate mortality rates.
Topical vs Oral NSAIDs and the Risk for Cardiovascular Events in RA
Topical NSAIDs are associated with a lower risk for cardiovascular events compared with oral NSAIDs in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients
Optimal management of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors continues to be a key objective of CVD risk management in patients with RA.
Predictors of Accelerated Atherosclerosis in Spondyloarthritis Without Overt CVD
Predictors of subclinical accelerated atherosclerosis were examined in a recent study of patients with spondyloarthritis without overt cardiovascular disease.
CVD Prevention Counseling Decreases CVD Risk Factor Prevalence in SLE
This study finds that a cardiovascular disease prevention counseling program decreases the prevalence of cardiovascular disease risk factors in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus.
ACS Risk Increased in New-Onset RA Despite Improved Disease Control
Individuals with new-onset rheumatoid arthritis are at increased risk of acute coronary syndrome.
Cardiovascular Risks in JIA Linked to Serum Vitamin D Level
Thirty controls were compared with 30 patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis to determine the link between vitamin D and CVD.
