Higher Prevalence of Cardiovascular Disease Events in Hyperuricemia and Gout
A study of patients at a community-based nephrology practice found a higher cardiovascular disease prevalence with hyperuricemia or gout.
Cardiovascular Disease
Serum Folate Tied to Cardiovascular Mortality Risk in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Among patients with rheumatoid arthritis, a serum folate level of at least 4.3 ng/mL is associated with lower cardiovascular mortality risk.
Ultra-Processed Food Consumption Linked to Cardiovascular Risk in RA
Researchers investigated the association between food consumption stratified by processing level and cardiovascular risk factors in rheumatoid arthritis.
Rheumatoid Arthritis May Be Associated With Risk for Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events
Researchers sought to assess the risk for major cardiovascular events and death in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) vs those without RA who were referred for cardiac computed tomography for chest pain.
Elevated Cardiovascular Disease Risk in Patients With Inflammatory Arthritis
Researchers assessed the prevalence and incidence rate of cardiovascular morbidity in patients with inflammatory arthritis and determined whether the coexistence of multiple autoimmune disorders was associated with increased risk for cardiovascular disease.
Thromboembolic Disorder Treatments
Anticoagulants, antiplatelets, and thrombolytics for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of venous and arterial thrombosis.
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.
