Thromboembolic Disorder Treatments
Anticoagulants, antiplatelets, and thrombolytics for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of venous and arterial thrombosis.
Cardiovascular Disease
Glucocorticoid Use Associated With Increased Risk for Cardiovascular Disease in SLE
Researchers addressed the association between cardiovascular risk and glucocorticoids in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus.
Reliability of Pharmacologic Stress Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance in a Pediatric Population, With Kawasaki Disease
Researchers highlighted the use of pharmacologic stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance (PSCMR) in specific pediatric cohorts with congenital and acquired heart disease. They also presented 2 cases of patients with Kawasaki disease, in which PSCMR helped in decision making.
Increased Risk for CVD in Osteoarthritis Mediated by NSAID Use
Investigators examined the relationship between nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and the risk for cardiovascular disease among patients with osteoarthritis.
NSAIDs for Osteoarthritis Contribute to Increased CVD Risk
Osteoarthritis is an independent risk factor for increased CVD, and NSAIDs contribute substantially to this risk.
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.
