“…Furthermore, patients with ARDs might develop subclinical CVDs, which are also increased in patients with RA and SLE. Carotid artery plaque, carotid intima-medial thickness (IMT) and coronary calcification are more prevalent in both RA and SLE (Ferrante, 2009;Kumeda, 2002;Asanuma, 2003;Roman et al, 2003;Roman et al, 2006;Ahmad et al, 2007;Wang et al, 2009).…”

“…11 However, recent results with TNF-alfa inhibitors in rheumatoid arthritis are promising by showing a reduced number of cardiovascular events. 12 AntieTNF-alfa agents administered in patients with rheumatoid arthritis have been declared to efficiently improve endothelial function (represented by increased flow-mediated vasodilation) 13,14 and significantly decrease carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), 15,16 both accepted indicators of subclinical atherosclerosis. 17 Similarly, a recent study demonstrated significant reduction in aortic inflammation measured by 18 F-fluoro-deoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT), a novel, highly sensitive technique to assess vascular inflammation.…”

“…К такому же выводу пришли исследователи Бостонской медицинской школы (США) [24]. У пациентов с ревмато-идным артритом, получавших терапию генно-инженер-ными биологическими препаратами, снижение риска сердечно-сосудистых событий сопровождалось благо-приятной динамикой изменений липидного спектра [25], положительной динамикой признаков структурных изме-нений сосудов, выявленных неинвазивными методами [26]. Признавая вклад хронического воспалительного процесса в ускорение развития атеросклеротических изменений в сосудах, исследователи справедливо под-черкивают, что при планировании терапии и реабилита-ции пациентов с хроническими воспалительными заболе-ваниями не следует фокусироваться лишь на воспалении.…”
