Increased Cardiovascular Risk in Psoriatic Arthritis: Results From a Case-Control Monocentric Study

Abstract: BackgroundPsoriatic arthritis (PsA) is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The aims of our real-life study were to compare the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) and cardiovascular events (CVEs) among patients with PsA with a control population, to evaluate the impact of correcting factors in equations that assess cardiovascular risk (CVR) in PsA, and to determine the percentage of patients who reach the LDLc target as indicated by the European guidelines.MethodsIn … Show more

“…Reassuringly, although AIIRD patients are known to be at increased risk of infections [ 41 , 42 , 43 ] and specifically of HZ reactivation [ 5 , 44 ], we did not find an increase in the risk of HZ reactivation following mRNA vaccination in SpA patients relative to the general population. This finding is particularly noteworthy given that the AIIRD patient population has been aggressively immunized against COVID-19 due to the concern of potentially more severe outcomes of this infection in immunosuppressed individuals and particularly in those with CVD-related comorbidities, as found in PsA patients [ 32 , 45 , 46 ].…”

“…Current evidence suggests that effectively managing comorbid conditions enhances overall well-being and reduces hospital readmissions. For instance, addressing cardiovascular risk factors, such as hypertension and hyperlipidemia, is crucial given the increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality observed in patients with PsA [ 22 , 23 ]. Comprehensive care plans should include regular monitoring, lifestyle modifications, and pharmacological interventions to mitigate these risks.…”

“…An elevated risk of CV and cerebrovascular events compared to the general population has also been reported for psoriatic arthritis (PsA) [2,7]. The increased CV risk associated with RA and other chronic inflammatory conditions is likely caused by the complex interplay of traditional CV risk factors, chronic systemic inflammation, and side effects related to the use of certain antirheumatic medications [8,9]. Although a similar figure has been proposed for PsA, to what extent these arthropathies differ is yet to be clarified.…”

“…Several studies have investigated the epidemiology of traditional CV risk factors and MetS in patients with RA and PsA [9,10,[12][13][14][15]. A study based on the data from a US health insurance claim database estimated the prevalence of CV risk factors during the 12 months before diagnosis and their incidence rates during follow-up in patients with RA, PsA or psoriasis [12].…”
