Ankylosing spondylitis: a risk factor for myocardial infarction?: Table 1

Abstract

These observations indicate that the prevalence of MI is increased in patients with AS.

Prevalence of cardiovascular-related comorbidity in ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis in primary care: a matched retrospective cohort study

“…In 2006, Han et al found a moderate increase in the prevalence of IHD in AS patients from a US health insurance database, reporting a relative risk of 1.2 (95% CI 1.0-1.5) [23]. In another study, though specific to myocardial infarction (MI), Peters et al reported a strong association between AS and an increased prevalence of MI in Dutch females matched to the general population (5.75 (2.1 to 15.8)), but no association for males (1.60 (0.9 to 2.8)) [10].…”

“…In a longitudinal primary care population from Wales, AS patients had similar rates of myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke as matched-controls, but hypertension was more prevalent [9]. A Dutch study found an increased prevalence of hypertension in patients with AS compared to the general population [6] and though a second Dutch study found female patients with AS to be at greater risk of developing myocardial infarction, male AS patients were not [10].…”

Is Ankylosing Spondylitis a Risk Factor of Recurrent Cerebrovascular Disease?

“…A study showed an association between premature atherosclerosis and chronic inflammatory condition [8]. Patients with AS are at increased risk for developing coronary artery disease [9]. One study showed that the risk of cardiovascular events was increased by 30-50% in patients with AS [10].…”

According to the Materials of the 2015/2016 New European League Against Rheumatism (Eular) Guidelines for Reducing Cardiovascular Risk in Patients With Inflammatory Arthritis: General Characterization and Discussion Problems

“…Одна из основных причин леталь-ности при АС -ССЗ [17][18][19]. Так же как и при РА, ФР ССО при АС являются дислипидемия [20], повышенная распро-страненность АГ [17,21], СД 2-го типа [17], увеличение толщины комплекса интима -медиа или наличие АТБ [22][23][24]. Кроме того, отмечено увеличение частоты неате-росклеротических ССЗ (патология аортального клапана и нарушение проводимости).…”
