| Popis: | Background: Mortality from cardiovascular disease (CVD) is increased in rheumatoid arthritis, not explained by traditional cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF), suggesting a role of inflammation. This process would occur early. The common sonographic markers of subclinical atherosclerosis (SA), are increased carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) or the presence of carotid atherosclerotic plaque and they are closely related to CVD.Aims: To evaluate sonographic markers and cardiovascular risk factors in early Arthritis (EA).A case control study of patients with EA, defined by 3 joints swollen with Conclusions: Ultrasound evidence of atherosclerosis subclinical markers was not found in this study, suggesting that this process may occur after a year of diagnosis. |
