Methotrexate might reduce ischemic stroke in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: a population ‐based retrospective cohort study
ConclusionsAt a dosage of > 0.5 defined daily dose, short‐term methotrexate might decrease ischemic stroke risk in RA patients, while hydroxychloroquine and sulfasalazine were neutral.

Antiphospholipid Syndrome-Associated Crescendo Stroke Events Treated with Rituximab (P4.351)
Discussion APS is an autoimmune condition associated with persistent antiphospholipid antibodies, characterised by thrombosis and pregnancy morbidity [1].Regarding APS and stroke the optimal antithrombotic agent, intensity of anticoagulation, and duration of treatment remains controversial[2]. Analysis of the APASS subgroup in the WARS study found aspirin and warfarin to be equally effective agents for secondary stroke prevention [2]. The majority of panel members at the International Congress on Antiphospholipid Antibodies recommended warfarin or combination aspirin and warfarin for patients with definite APS and arterial...

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

Exploring the risk factors for ischemic cerebrovascular disease in systemic lupus erythematosus: A single-center case-control study
ConclusionCutaneous vasculitis and antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLs) are associated with an increased risk of ICVD, while HCQ therapy may provide protection against ICVD in SLE. The ICVD in younger lupus patients is associated with complement-mediated inflammation and poorer outcome, and require immunosuppressive therapy, whereas the ICVD in elderly patients are characterized by moderate ICAS and carotid atherosclerotic plaques.

Hydroxychloroquine Use Is Associated With Decreased Incident Cardiovascular Events in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients Preventive Cardiology
Conclusion In this hypothesis-generating study, hydroxychloroquine use was associated with a 72% decrease in the risk of incident CVD in RA patients. If these preliminary results are confirmed in larger studies, our findings may be used as a rationale for a randomized study of hydroxychloroquine use for primary prevention of CVD in RA or nonrheumatic high-risk patients.

Recurrent cerebellar infarction associated with hereditary heterozygous protein C deficiency in a 35-year-old woman: A case report and genetic study on the pedigree.
In conclusion, the clinical manifestations of hereditary PROC deficiency may vary between individuals. The heterozygous mutation locus c.565C>T on the PROC gene is associated with thrombophilia. Awareness of the association between natural anticoagulants and thrombophilia may promote the prevention and therapy of stroke. PMID: 30210609 [PubMed]

Prevention of Recurrent Thrombosis in Antiphospholipid Syndrome: Different from the General Population?
Abstract Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is characterized by arterial and/or venous thrombosis with or without pregnancy morbidity in the presence of autoantibodies targeting proteins that associate with membrane phospholipids, termed “antiphospholipid antibodies” (aPL). Management of arterial and venous thromboses shares some similarities with management of arterial and venous thromboses in the general population; however, there are key differences. The majority of studies addressing management of thrombotic APS focus on secondary prevention. Vitamin K antagonists (VKA) are typically used for secondary preve...

Cardiovascular comorbidities in rheumatoid arthritis.
Abstract Approximately 80% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) suffer from comorbidities including more than 50% from cardiovascular (CV) diseases. Inflammatory activity is the main factor connecting RA with atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, stroke, thromboembolic events and heart failure. Altogether these affect RA patients twice as frequently as the general population and CV events are the major cause of death in RA. Besides inflammatory activity, which can be reduced or eliminated by optimal treatment and controlling the RA activity, traditional CV risk factors also contribute to the total CV ris...
