Hydroxychloroquine exposure reduces the risk of cardiovasular disease events in patients with hypertension or diabetes mellitus
CONCLUSIONS: HCQ has protective effect on CVD events, including both AMI and ischaemic stroke in the patients with traditional risk factors. The protective effect of HCQ on CVD events is prominent in older patients.PMID:37246776 | DOI:10.55563/clinexprheumatol/y7psev

Cardiovascular risk and mortality in rheumatoid arthritis compared with diabetes mellitus and the general population
ConclusionThis study demonstrates that RA is associated with an increased risk of HF, MI, stroke and coronary revascularization than found in the GP but without reaching the risk levels observed in DM patients.

Longitudinal transition trajectory of gouty arthritis and its comorbidities: a population-based study
AbstractThe aim of the study was to investigate the longitudinal transition trajectory of gout and its comorbidities in male patients with gout in different age groups. A total of 3973 male patients who received a new diagnosis of gouty arthritis were identified from the Taiwan Longitudinal Health Insurance Database and divided into two age cohorts (<50 and ≥50 years). Each patient was individually followed from 2000 to 2009 to identify associated comorbidities, namely hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, and chronic kidney disease. Two outcome measurements of stroke and all...

A nationwide population-based retrospective cohort study: increased risk of acute coronary syndrome in patients with ankylosing spondylitis.
Conclusions: AS patients are at higher risk of ACS compared with non-AS subjects. Management of CV risk factors should be taken into account for the treatment of patients with AS, especially for patients with co-morbidities of hypertension, DM, and cancer.

Response to: 'Biologic agents for giant cell arteritis: treat to target by Moiseev et al
We thank Moiseev et al for their interest in our study of ustekinumab in giant cell arteritis (GCA).1 2 Our pilot study reported promising initial results from the use of ustekinumab in GCA.1 GCA is a potentially devastating disease with cranial ischaemic complications such as blindness and stroke occurring in 20%–25% of patients.3 While corticosteroids are effective in reducing the risk of cranial ischaemic complications, they do not fully extinguish the vascular inflammation in patients with GCA4–6 with consequent risk of disease relapse and longer-term consequences such as aortic aneurysms.7 8 Furthermore, c...

Large Artery Dysfunction in Primary Antiphospholipid Syndrome
Conclusions The higher b/a ratio in APL patients suggests decreased distensibility of large arteries and may be why APL patients are at higher risk for cardiovascular events. The d/a ratio, that is considered a marker of small vessel vascular resistance, was not different than controls. Further studies are needed to evaluate vascular factors that predispose APL patients to atherosclerotic events.

Increased Risk of Hypertension Associated with Spondyloarthritis Disease Duration: Results from the ASAS-COMOSPA Study.
CONCLUSION: Duration of SpA disease in the ASAS-COMOSPA cohort is associated with higher odds of HTN, particularly in those with axial disease, but not with other CV-related conditions. The association with HTN does not appear to be related to NSAID exposure. PMID: 30647169 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Cardiovascular risk and mortality in rheumatoid arthritis compared with diabetes mellitus and the general population
Dear Editor, We read with great interest the work of L øgstrupet al. [1] studying cardiovascular risk and mortality in RA compared with diabetes mellitus (DM) and the general population. In their work, the authors longitudinally followed patients with RA and DM. They highlighted that RA is associated with an increased risk of heart failure, myocardial infarction (MI), stroke and coronary revascularization than is found in the general population, but without reaching the risk levels observed in DM patients. They pointed out that patients with incident RA have the same 10  year risk of MI compared with DM patients. Howeve...
