Genetic liability to rheumatoid arthritis in relation to coronary artery disease and stroke risk
ConclusionThis study found that genetic liability to RA was associated with increased risk of CAD and intracerebral hemorrhage and that the association for CAD might be mediated by CRP. The heightened cardiovascular risk should be actively monitored and managed in RA patients, and this may include damping systemic inflammation.

Vertebral Artery Dissection in Rheumatoid Arthritis with Cervical Spine Disease
A 59-year-old woman with long-standing active rheumatoid arthritis presented with posterior circulation ischemic stroke after vertebral dissection. She had severe multilevel degenerative changes of her cervical spine. She did not have classic stroke risk factors nor evidence of atherosclerotic disease or other systemic diseases. The most likely mechanism appears to be injury of the artery wall by an osteophyte, causing dissection that resulted in thrombosis and subsequent embolic strokes.

Preliminary Investigation: Acupoint-Skin Conductance in Stroke Survivors
Abstract It has been reported that patients with rheumatoid arthritis or asthma have skin conductance over the acupoints that is lower than that of their healthy counterparts; this has been regarded as indirect evidence of the existence of acupoints and the energy-based model of diseases. In order to investigate the potential application of acupoint-skin conductance measurement that may reflect pathology of ischemic stroke, the present study recruited 34 stroke survivors with hemiparesis, whose skin conductance of a hand acupoint and an adjacent non-acupoint and the finger temperature in both affected and unaffect...

The risk of ischemic stroke in major rheumatic disorders
Rheumatic disorders (RD) are a range of conditions associated with inflammation of joints and connective tissue. They can manifest beyond the musculoskeletal system. Recent focus has been placed on the association of ischemic stroke with these conditions. Traditional vascular risk factors seem to be more prevalent in patients with certain types of RD than in the general population, but these factors do not fully explain the enhanced vascular risk in this population. Four major RD will be discussed in terms of their relationship with ischemic stroke: rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, ankylosing spondylitis...

Association between ischaemic stroke and tumour necrosis factor inhibitor therapy in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
Conclusions: Exposure to TNFi does not appear to influence the occurrence of IS in the medium term in patients with RA. The impact on post‐IS mortality remains inconclusive. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Effect on Risk of Stroke and Acute Myocardial Infarction of Nonselective Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
There are still debates on the association of increased cardiovascular risk with the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients because of inconsistent results. Therefore, our study aims to evaluate the transient effects of selective and nonselective NSAIDs on the risk of stroke and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in patients with RA. We conducted a case-crossover study of 5,921 stroke or AMI patients with comorbidity of RA. All cases were identified from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Database between January 1, 2006, through December 31, 2011 according to the Intern...

Systemic inflammatory response index as an independent risk factor for ischemic stroke in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: a retrospective study based on propensity score matching
ConclusionSIRI was independently associated with the occurrence of ischemic stroke in patients with RA. Thus, RA patients with elevated SIRI should be closely monitored.Key points•RA patients with IS had fewer traditional risk factors such as hypertension and diabetes, while inflammatory indicators were significantly increased.•The SIRI have drawn attention in recent years as novel non-specific inflammatory markers. However, only a few studies have been conducted to investigate their value in RA.•This study completes the gaps in the research on the relationship between SIRI and the risk of IS occurrence in RA patients.

Recurrent Embolic Strokes Associated with Vertical Atlantoaxial Subluxation in a Patient with Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Case Report and Review of Literature
We report a 78-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis who developed recurrent embolic cerebellar strokes associated with vertical atlantoaxial subluxation (AAS). On contrast angiography, the bilateral vertebral arteries (VAs) were occluded between the C1 and C2 levels, and the distal parts of bilateral VA were supplied by the collateral circulations. Dynamic cerebral angiography and carotid duplex ultrasonography showed that blood flow was substantially decreased in the left VA and left posterior inferior cerebellar artery on cervical anteflexion. It is suggested that vertical AAS reduced the blood flow of collateral cir...

Conclusions This study provides evidence supporting the hypothesis that RA-related systemic inflammation plays a role in determining cardiovascular risk and a complex relationship between LDL and cardiovascular risk.

Prevention of Stroke in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Opinion statement Recognizing that systemic inflammation is a major contributor to the increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), including stroke, in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) serves as the basis for prevention strategies for cerebrovascular disease in RA. In addition to traditional cardiovascular risk factors, recognize that RA may be an independent risk factor for cerebrovascular accident (CVA). The risk of CVD should be assessed in each patient with RA, utilizing modified risk score calculators. Careful monitoring and control of systemic inflammation should be undertaken in conjunction with assessing eac...
