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...

Cardiovascular disease detection using machine learning and carotid/femoral arterial imaging frameworks in rheumatoid arthritis patients
AbstractThe study proposes a novel machine learning (ML) paradigm for cardiovascular disease (CVD) detection in individuals at medium to high cardiovascular risk using data from a Greek cohort of 542 individuals with rheumatoid arthritis, or diabetes mellitus, and/or arterial hypertension, using conventional or office-based, laboratory-based blood biomarkers and carotid/femoral ultrasound image-based phenotypes. Two kinds of data (CVD risk factors and presence of CVD —defined as stroke, or myocardial infarction, or coronary artery syndrome, or peripheral artery disease, or coronary heart disease) as ground truth, were co...

Tofacitinib and risk of cardiovascular outcomes: results from the Safety of TofAcitinib in Routine care patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (STAR-RA) study
Conclusions We did not find evidence for an increased risk of cardiovascular outcomes with tofacitinib in patients with RA treated in the real-world setting; however, tofacitinib was associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular outcomes, although statistically non-significant, in patients with RA with cardiovascular risk factors. Trial registration number NCT04772248.

As the prevalence of obesity increases, rationing arthritis care is not the answer
Obesity, defined as a body mass index (BMI) greater than 30, is increasing worldwide. Between 1975 and 2016, the worldwide prevalence of obesity nearly tripled, with around 13% of the world ’s adult population currently classified as obese.(1) Obesity is associated with increased risk of several systemic conditions, including heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. The associated cost of treating obesity for the USA is expected to increase to $555 billion per year by 2025.(2).

Risk Factors for Dementia in Patients with Incident Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Population-based Cohort Study
CONCLUSION: Apart from age, hypertension, depression, and anxiety, which are universally recognized risk factors for dementia, clinically active RA and presence of CVD were associated with an elevated risk of dementia incidence among RA patients.PMID:35840149 | DOI:10.3899/jrheum.220200
