Popis: Endothelial dysfunction associated with chronic microcrystalline inflammation plays a role in the progression of atherosclerosis in calcium pyrophosphate crystal deposition diseases (CPPD).The aim of the study was to assess the dynamics of the development of atherosclerosis based on changes in the thickness of the intima-media complex (ICIM) of the carotid arteries (CA) in patients with CPPD receiving long-term anti-inflammatory therapy (colchicine, methotrexate, hydroxychloroquine).Materials and methods. 26 patients with CPPD and 26 patients with osteoarthritis aged over 18 years old were included. Exclusion criteria: age >65 years; presence of cardiovascular diseases. The blood lipid spectrum, hs-CRP level, anthropometric parameters were determined for all, and Doppler ultrasound ultrasonography of the carotid arteries (CA) was performed. Patients were followed up for not 0.9 mm were detected in 11 of 22 (50%) patients with CPPD and in OA in 8 of 19 (42%) (p=0.39). In dynamics, patients with CPPD revealed a decrease in the number of patients with ICIM>0.9 mm from 42 to 18%. At the same time, in 8 patients with CPPD, ICIM>0.9 mm was combined with a CRP level >0.2 mg/l. Out of 22 patients with CPPD, 14 (64%) patients showed a decrease in the mean values of ICIM, in 2 (9%) patients - an increase, in 5 patients the mean values of ICIM did not change. After 6 months of therapy, out of 11 patients with CPPD with ICIM >0.9 mm, after 6 months of therapy, in 7 cases there was a decrease in the indicator less than the specified value, in 5 of them a decrease in serum CRP level
