Insulin resistance is an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis in rheumatoid arthritis.
The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between insulin resistance (IR) and subclinical atherosclerosis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Carotid artery intima media thickness (IMT), using ultrasound evaluation, and other clinical and laboratory variables were investigated in 45 RA outpatients and in 48 controls with soft tissue disorders. IR was assayed by hom...
متن کاملSubclinical atherosclerosis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
We performed a systematic review with meta-analysis and meta-regression of literature studies evaluating the impact of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) on common carotid artery intima-media thickness (CCAIMT) and on the prevalence of carotid plaques. Studies evaluating the relationship between RA and markers of cardiovascular (CV) risk (CCA-IMT and prevalence of carotid plaques) were systematically se...
متن کاملRisk factor groupings related to insulin resistance and their synergistic effects on subclinical atherosclerosis: the atherosclerosis risk in communities study.
The extent to which groupings of insulin resistance-related cardiovascular risk factors synergize to produce atherosclerosis beyond what is expected from their additive effects is uncertain. The objective of this study was to measure interactions among groupings of the features of the insulin resistance syndrome (IRS) on carotid intimal-medial thickness (IMT). This cross-sectional study used ba...
متن کاملSubclinical atherosclerosis in rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are associated with increased mortality, largely as a consequence of cardiovascular disease. Increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with RA and SLE cannot be entirely explained by traditional risk factors, suggesting that the systemic inflammation that characterizes these diseases may accelerate atheroscleros...
متن کامل[Insulin resistance and rheumatoid arthritis].
Resistance to insulin action is a feature that accompanies certain diseases among which chronic inflammatory states like rheumatoid arthritis are included. What is, what its pathogenesis is, how it is measured, and what clinical and therapeutic implications have in rheumatoid arthritis patients is a topic not familiar to rheumatologists that is reviewed in this paper.
