متن کاملCardiovascular disease risk profiles in inflammatory joint disease entities
BACKGROUND Patients with inflammatory joint diseases (IJD) have increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Our aim was to compare CVD risk profiles in patients with IJD, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and evaluate the future risk of CVD. METHODS The prevalence and numbers of major CVD risk factors (CVD-RFs) (hypertension...
