Risk misclassification by cardiovascular risk scores in rheumatoid disease: high prevalence of carotid plaque in patients classified as low risk

Cardiovascular (CV) risk calculators are widely used to estimate 10-year CV risk in the general population. However, even in non-inflammatory cohorts, these models show limited sensitivity for detecting subclinical atherosclerosis, as a proportion of individuals categorized as low risk already exhibit carotid pla...

Association of Non-HDL cholesterol with cardiovascular risk and subclinical atherosclerosis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with increased cardiovascular risk (CVR), driven by chronic inflammation and a higher burden of traditional risk factors. Non-HDL cholesterol, which encompasses all atherogenic lipoproteins, has been proposed as a useful marker in this population, with ≥130 mg/dL considered...

Inflammation-associated combined vascular and ventricular phenotype in rheumatoid arthritis is incompletely captured by conventional cardiovascular risk scores

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with increased cardiovascular (CV) risk driven by both traditional risk factors and chronic systemic inflammation. Conventional CV risk scores may not adequately reflect subclinical structural CV involvement in this population. To characterize vascular and ventricula...
