Spondyloarthritides increase cardiovascular risks due to chronic inflammation affecting the heart and blood vessels. This review explores these cardiac and vascular pathologies and their underlying inflammatory mechanisms.

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Cardiology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Spondyloarthritides (SpA) present increased cardiovascular risks not fully explained by traditional factors.
  • Chronic systemic inflammation is implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular complications in SpA.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review novel findings on cardiac and vascular pathologies in SpA.
  • To discuss potential overlapping mechanisms, particularly chronic inflammation.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recent studies on SpA and cardiovascular disease.
  • Analysis of inflammatory mediators, endothelial function, and lipid profiles.

Main Results:

  • Cardiac issues include conduction disturbances and valvular heart disease.

  • Vascular pathologies involve impaired endothelial function and potential atherosclerosis.
  • Elevated inflammatory markers (e.g., C-reactive protein) and atherogenic lipid profiles are observed in SpA, notably ankylosing spondylitis.

    • Conclusions:

    • Chronic systemic inflammation in SpA contributes to cardiac and vascular pathologies.
    • Targeting inflammation and lipid profiles may offer therapeutic avenues.
