TLDR
The results show that TNFA rs1800629 gene polymorphism is associated with predisposition to CV complications in patients with RA, and this predisposition is restricted to individuals carrying the rheumatoid SE.

Cardiovascular comorbidity in rheumatic diseases

TL;DR: Traditional risk factors such as age, gender, dyslipidaemia, hypertension, smoking, obesity and diabetes mellitus, together with inflammation, are the main contributors to the increased cardiovascular risk in patients with IJDs.

Carotid ultrasound is useful for the cardiovascular risk stratification of patients with rheumatoid arthritis: results of a population-based study.

TL;DR: The results support the use of carotid US in the assessment of CV risk in patients with RA and show high sensitivity for high/very high CV risk.

The effect of disease duration and disease activity on the risk of cardiovascular disease in rheumatoid arthritis patients

TL;DR: The course of hazards over time did not indicate a change in the risk of CVD over the course of RA (disease duration), which is also reflected by the absence of a deflection in the survival curves.

Cardiovascular risk stratification in rheumatic diseases: carotid ultrasound is more sensitive than Coronary Artery Calcification Score to detect subclinical atherosclerosis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis

TL;DR: Carotid ultrasonography is more sensitive than CACS for the detection of subclinical atherosclerosis in RA and allows identifying most patients who met definitions for high/very high CV risk.

Protection against anti-citrullinated protein antibody-positive rheumatoid arthritis is predominantly associated with HLA-DRB1*1301: A meta-analysis of HLA-DRB1 associations with anti-citrullinated protein antibody-positive and anti-citrullinated protein antibody-negative rheumatoid arthritis in four European populations - Commentary

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed a meta-analysis of 4 European populations to investigate which HLA-DRB1 alleles are associated with protection in anti-citrullinated protein antibody (ACPA)-positive RA and ACPA-negative RA.

Revised criteria for the classification of rheumatoid arthritis.

TL;DR: The Bulletin on the Rheumatic Diseases has published all of the classification criteria for the rheumatic diseases to date, and these new revised classified criteria for rheumatoid arthritis are very important as they should provide understanding of the possibly changing face of rheumatism.

The epidemiology of heart failure : The Framingham Study

TL;DR: Data from the Framingham Heart Study indicate that the incidence of congestive heart failure increases with age and is higher in men than in women, and diabetes mellitus and electrocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy are also associated with an increased risk of heart failure.
