Use of a strategy based on calculated risk scores in managing cardiovascular risk factors in a large British cohort of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus.
OBJECTIVE To develop a strategy for stratifying risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in a cohort of patients with SLE and to test the usefulness of this strategy in rationalizing management of cardiovascular risk factors. METHODS For each patient, data were collected once each year to allow calculation of risk of developing CVD in the next 10 years. Those with risk values >7.5% were considere...
متن کاملRisk factors for cardiovascular mortality in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, a prospective cohort study
INTRODUCTION Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is common and a major cause of mortality. Studies on cardiovascular morbidity are abundant, whereas mortality studies focusing on cardiovascular outcomes are scarce. The aim of this study was to investigate causes of death and baseline predictors of overall (OM), non-vascular (N-VM), an...
متن کاملProspective cohort studies on risk factors for cardiovascular events in systemic lupus erythematosus: a major challenge
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been identified as a major contributor to morbidity and mortality in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The etiology of premature CVD in SLE is supposed to have many factors, including traditional coronary artery disease (CAD) risk factors, antiphospholipid antibodies, and metabolic and inflammatory factors. Despite the overwhelming interest in CV...
متن کاملRisk of coronary heart disease and stroke in a large British cohort of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus.
OBJECTIVES Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are at increased risk of myocardial infarction and stroke. We sought to determine how much of this risk was dependent on recognized cardiovascular risk factors. METHODS Initially a software package 'Cardio-Risk-Manager', which utilizes Framingham data, was used to calculate a 10-yr risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke for ...
متن کاملCardiovascular risk factors in patients with psoriasis: A casecontrol study
Recent studies suggest that psoriasis may be an independent risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases. Myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism, diabetes mellitus,hypertension, and dyslipidemia have been reported in patients with psoriasis Certain risk factors for cardiovascular diseases may be more prevalent among patients with psoriasis 3,4. The aim of this study was to defi...
