Atherosclerosis III: Management01:26

Atherosclerosis III: Management

Management of atherosclerosis involves an integrated strategy encompassing pharmacological treatment, surgical interventions, lifestyle changes, and nutrition therapy to address the multifactorial nature of the disease.Pharmacological TherapyA cornerstone of atherosclerosis management is the use of pharmacological agents. Statins, such as atorvastatin, are pivotal in inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme that catalyzes an initial step in cholesterol synthesis in the liver. This reduction in...
Atherosclerosis I: Introduction01:30

Atherosclerosis I: Introduction

Atherosclerosis is a progressive disorder characterized by the buildup of plaques on the arterial inner wall, causing them to narrow and harden over time. These plaques comprise lipids, calcium, blood components, carbohydrates, and fibrous tissue. The process primarily affects the intima of large and medium-sized arteries, reducing blood flow in any artery.Etiology and risk factorsThe cause of atherosclerosis is multifactorial, involving a complex interplay among endothelial injury, lipid...

Rheumatic Heart Disease I: Introduction

Rheumatic heart disease or RHD is a chronic condition that results from rheumatic fever, causing permanent damage to the heart valves.Etiology and Risk FactorsIt primarily arises from rheumatic fever, an inflammatory disease that can develop after untreated or inadequately treated group A streptococcal (GAS) pharyngitis. Streptococcus spreads through direct contact with oral or respiratory secretions. While the bacteria are the causative agents, factors like malnutrition, overcrowding, poor...

Coronary Artery Disease I: Introduction

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): An Overview with Scientific InsightsCoronary Artery Disease (CAD), often referred to as C-A-D, is a prevalent blood vessel disorder classified under the broader category of atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a pathological process characterized by the hardening and narrowing of arteries due to the accumulation of atherosclerotic plaques. These plaques are composed of cholesterol, fatty substances, inflammatory cells, calcium, and fibrin, reducing blood flow to...
Coronary Artery Disease II: Pathophysiology01:26

Coronary Artery Disease II: Pathophysiology

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) originates from a series of events that impair the function of coronary arteries, the blood vessels responsible for delivering oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle. The pathophysiology of CAD is closely linked to atherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory and lipid-driven condition affecting the vascular endothelium.1. Endothelial DamageThe process begins with damage to the vascular endothelium, which serves as a protective barrier between the blood and the vessel...

Published on: October 12, 2017

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Cardiology
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients face significantly higher cardiovascular risk (CVR).
  • Current serological predictors for RA-associated CVR are lacking.
  • Elevated oxidized high-density lipoprotein (oxHDL) is linked to cardiovascular diseases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess oxidized high-density lipoprotein (oxHDL) as a potential cardiovascular risk predictor in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Main Methods:

  • Observational cross-sectional study of 200 RA patients on disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD) therapy.
  • Collected anamnestic, clinical, and laboratory markers of cardiovascular morbidity and disease activity.
  • Quantified oxHDL using a fluorometric biochemical cell-free assay.

Main Results:

  • oxHDL levels correlated positively with body mass index (BMI) and number of tender small joints.
  • Higher oxHDL was observed in overweight and hypertensive RA patients.
  • oxHDL showed negative correlations with total cholesterol and prednisolone dose.

Conclusions:

  • oxHDL is associated with specific cardiovascular risk indicators in RA patients.
  • Prospective and follow-up studies are required to validate oxHDL's role in RA cardiovascular risk assessment.
