TLDR
Results of the present study show that patients with ankylosing spondylitis without clinically evident cardiovascular disease have a high prevalence of subclinical macrovascular disease in the form of increased carotid IMT andCarotid plaques compared to matched controls.About:

TL;DR: The present update extends on the evidence that CVD risk in the whole spectrum of IJD is increased, which underscores the need for CVDrisk management in these patients.

Cardiovascular profile in ankylosing spondylitis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
TL;DR: To assess the incidence of myocardial infarction (MI) or strokes and the cardiovascular risk profile in ankylosing spondylitis patients, a large number of patients were diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of atherosclerotic risk factors and the metabolic syndrome in patients with chronic inflammatory arthritis.
TL;DR: To evaluate the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), and psoriatic arthritis (PsA), a large number of patients with these conditions have a history of metabolic disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlation between endothelial function and carotid atherosclerosis in rheumatoid arthritis patients with long-standing disease
TL;DR: In patients with RA without CV disease, endothelial dysfunction and carotid IMT increased with the duration of RA, and the association between FMD and carotin IMT values was observed only in patients with long disease duration.

TL;DR: This Review provides an overview of validated techniques that are currently available to determine subclinical atherosclerosis in patients with rheumatic conditions and the potential use of a multimarker approach to increase the diagnostic and prognostic value of these clinical assessments.

Evaluation of diagnostic criteria for ankylosing spondylitis. A proposal for modification of the New York criteria.
TL;DR: The study showed the clinical history screening test for AS to be moderately sensitive, but it might be better in clinical practice, and substitution of the Rome pain criterion for the New York pain criterion is proposed.

A new approach to defining disease status in ankylosing spondylitis: the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index.
TL;DR: The Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), a self-administered instrument, is superior to the DAI in terms of construct and content validity and to the Enthesis Index in all aspects.

Intimal plus medial thickness of the arterial wall: a direct measurement with ultrasound imaging.
TL;DR: No significant difference was found between B mode-determined intimal + medial thickness in the common carotid arteries evaluated in vitro and that determined by this method in vivo in young subjects, indicating that B mode imaging represents a useful approach for the measurement of intimal - medial thickness of human arteries in vivo.

A new approach to defining functional ability in ankylosing spondylitis: the development of the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index.
TL;DR: The Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index satisfies the criteria required of a functional index: it is quick and easy to complete, is reliable and is sensitive to change across the whole spectrum of disease.

High incidence of cardiovascular events in a rheumatoid arthritis cohort not explained by traditional cardiac risk factors
TL;DR: The increased incidence of CV events in RA patients is independent of traditional CV risk factors, which suggests that additional mechanisms are responsible for CV disease in RA.
