Summary
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients face higher cardiovascular risk, though less studied than other inflammatory rheumatic diseases. This review covers AS cardiovascular risks, risk factors, treatment effects, and management guidelines.
Area of Science:
- Rheumatology
- Cardiology
- Inflammatory Diseases
Context:
- Inflammatory rheumatic diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus, are linked to increased cardiovascular risk.
- Cardiovascular risk in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is less documented, with conflicting study results.
- Current data on cardiovascular risk in AS remains limited.
Purpose:
- To review current data on high cardiovascular risk in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) as of 2014.
- To examine the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in AS patients.
- To discuss the cardiovascular effects of AS treatments and outline management guidelines.
Summary:
- This review synthesizes 2014 data on elevated cardiovascular risk in ankylosing spondylitis (AS).
- It details the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors specific to AS.
- The review also analyzes treatment impacts on cardiovascular health and proposes management strategies.
Impact:
- Highlights the need for focused cardiovascular risk assessment in AS patients.
- Informs clinical practice regarding the management of cardiovascular comorbidities in AS.
- Provides a foundation for future research into AS-related cardiovascular complications.

01:14Overview of the Cardiovascular System
11.0K
The cardiovascular system is a vital transportation system in the body. It comprises the heart and blood vessels and facilitates the exchange of gases, nutrients, and waste products.
Heart
The heart is the central pump of the cardiovascular system that circulates blood throughout the body. It comprises two atria receiving the blood and two ventricles pumping blood out of the heart. Their rhythmic contractions, called heartbeats, ensure that blood flow remains continuous.

01:12Relative Risk
2.0K
Relative risk (RR) is a statistical measure commonly used in epidemiology to compare the likelihood of a particular event occurring between two groups. This metric is important for evaluating the relationship between exposure to a specific risk factor and the probability of a particular outcome. It plays a crucial role in medical research, public health studies, and risk assessment. Relative risk quantifies how much more (or less) likely an event is to occur in an exposed group compared to an...

3.8K
The regulation of the cardiovascular system allows the body to adapt to various demands and maintain homeostasis.
The regulation of the cardiovascular system involves the autonomic nervous system (ANS), baroreceptors, and chemoreceptors, ensuring that heart rate and blood pressure are appropriately modulated in response to varying physiological demands.
The ANS comprises two main divisions: the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The sympathetic nervous system enhances...

01:26Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection
13.3K
The hosts' susceptibility to infection depends on several factors. The integrity of the skin and mucous membranes helps protect the body against microbial attacks. When the skin is altered, the chance of infection, limb loss, and even death increases.
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...

01:20Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
3.9K
Exercise significantly impacts cardiovascular response, which is crucial for understanding patient health and designing effective treatment plans.
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...

426
Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) is a multidisciplinary field that examines how psychological factors, particularly stress, interact with the immune system and impact physical health. Research in PNI has shown that chronic or traumatic stress can disrupt both the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and the sympathetic nervous system. These disruptions contribute to serious health conditions, including cardiovascular diseases.
A key area of focus in PNI is the relationship between stress and coronary...
