Cardiovascular disease in rheumatic diseases

Abstract

The representatives of immunoinflammatory diseases are rheumatic ones, such as primarily rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, spondyloarthritis, psoriatic arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and other systemic connective diseases, which are characterized by a high risk for untimely death. The high risk of untimely death in these diseases has been found to be associated with the severity of an immunoinflammatory process that gives rise to severe irreversible damage to vital organs and systems and with the development of a wide spectrum of comorbidities (infections, interstitial lung disease, malignant tumors, osteoporotic fractures, etc.). Among them, diseases of the cardiovascular system, which are most commonly caused by the early development and.accelerated progression of atherosclerotic coronary lesions, hold a central.position. The paper gives the data available in the recent literature on the impact.of antirheumatic therapy (disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs and biological agents) on' the cardiovascular system.

Results of Logistic Regression Analysis of Pentraxin-3 With Potential Decompensation Factors of Chronic Heart Failure in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis

“…Актуальность заявленной темы исследования обосновывается наличием целого ряда коморбидных патогенетических взаимодействий. Наличие хронического системного воспалительного процесса приводит к прогрессированию атеросклероза, дестабилизации течения ГБ, а также увеличению риска нежелательных сердечно-сосудистых событий [3]. В частности, для РА характерно увеличение случаев всех типов проявлений атеросклероза по сравнению с контролем, независимо от классических причин его развития [4; 5].…”
