Cardiovascular Risk Stratification in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Abstract
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis are characterized by left ventricular remodeling with the development of its hypertrophy, diastolic dysfunction and a large-scale carotid and coronary atherosclerosis. Systemic inflammation in patients with rheumatoid arthritis promotes increases in blood levels of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and matrix metalloproteinase-9. The most informative features that determine the degree of coronary and carotid atherosclerosis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis are indicators of inflammatory activity (high-sen¬sitivity C-reactive protein levels, the index DAS 28), the content of brain natriuretic peptide, age and presence of hypertension.
