Risk factors for cardiovascular disease in primary Sj ögren’s syndrome (pSS): a 20-year follow-up study
ConclusionsExtraglandular involvement was associated with a higher prevalence of arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia, hyperuricemia, and coronary artery disease. Anti-Ro/SSA and anti-La/SSB seropositivity was associated with a higher prevalence of cardiac rhythm abnormalities, hyperuricemia, venous thrombosis, coronary artery disease, and cerebrovascular disease. Raised inflammatory markers, disease activity measured by ESSDAI, extraglandular involvement, serologic markers including hypergammaglobulinemia and low C3, and treatment with corticosteroids were associated with a higher risk for cardiovascular comorbidities.Key ...

SARS-CoV-2 infection and SLE: endothelial dysfunction, atherosclerosis, and thrombosis
We present systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) as a model rheumatic disease with endothelial dysfunction and discuss its mechanisms, factors that influence the early onset and rapid progression of atherosclerosis, and the increased risk of thromboembolic events. We focus on established methods to improve endothelium function, including statins, antiplatelet, and antithrombotic therapy. Hypercoagulable and hypofibrinolitic states and a hyperinflammatory response characterize severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Several pathogenic mechanisms are typical for an acute phase of Covid-19 post-Co...

An unusual case of carotidynia preceding recurrent ischemic stroke with carotid thrombosis in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus
We report the case of a woman without evidence of a lupus flare-up who presented with the unusual clinical course of ipsilateral carotidynia and recurrent ischemic stroke due to carotid thrombosis. To our knowledge, this is the first case of such an unusual manifestation in lupus and highlights distinctive challenges in the diagnosis and management of carotid artery thrombosis following carotidynia.PMID:36289010 | DOI:10.1177/09612033221135868

Direct oral anticoagulants versus warfarin in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
CONCLUSION: DOACs were associated with higher rates of arterial thrombosis than warfarin in patients with APS, especially in the triple-positive group. However, a higher risk of recurrent venous thrombosis was not found in APS patients treated with DOACs compared to those treated with warfarin.PMID:35968627 | DOI:10.1177/09612033221118463

Long-term cardiovascular outcomes and temporal trends in patients diagnosed with ANCA-associated vasculitis: a Danish nationwide registry study
ConclusionsPatients with AAV are at increased risk of heart failure, atrial-/ventricular arrhythmias, venous thrombotic events, ischaemic stroke and myocardial infarction. Furthermore, patients with AAV were more frequently examined with coronary procedures and underwent more coronary revascularizations. No temporal changes in ischaemic cardiovascular outcomes were observed, albeit the cardiovascular mortality has decreased over time.

Safety of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in patients with Behcet ’s syndrome and familial Mediterranean fever: a cross-sectional comparative study on the effects of M-RNA based and inactivated vaccine
AbstractMost of the published data relate to classical forms of rheumatic diseases (RD) and information on rare inflammatory disorders such as Beh çet’s syndrome (BS) and familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is limited. We studied the frequency of side effects and disease flares after COVID-19 vaccination with either Pfizer/BioNTech or Sinovac/CoronaVac in 256 patients with BS, 247 with FMF, and 601 with RD. Telephone interviews were conducte d using a questionnaire survey in a cross-sectional design in patients with BS, FMF, and RD followed by a single university hospital. Study participants were vaccinated either with C...

Combined brain/heart magnetic resonance imaging in antiphospholipid syndrome-two sides of the same coin
AbstractAntiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by arterial, venous, and/or small vessel thrombosis, pregnancy morbidity, and persistently elevated levels of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL). Cardiovascular disease (CVD) in APS can present as heart valvular disease (HVD), macro-micro-coronary artery disease (CAD), myocardial dysfunction, cardiac thrombi, or pulmonary hypertension. Brain disease presents as stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) and less frequently as cerebral venous thrombosis, seizures, cognitive dysfunction, multiple sclerosis (MS) −like syndrome, or chorea. Infarcts...

Antiphospholipid antibodies and cerebrovascular thrombosis in the pediatric population: Few answers to many questions
Lupus. 2021 Jun 4:9612033211021488. doi: 10.1177/09612033211021488. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMost of the knowledge in pediatric antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is derived from studies performed on the adult population. As in adults, antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) can contribute to thrombosis, especially cerebrovascular thrombosis, in neonates and children. Since aPL have the potential to cross the placental barrier, and since the pediatric population is prone to infections, re-testing for their positivity is essential to specify their role in cerebrovascular thrombosis.In this review, we aimed at assessing the prev...
