Abstract

To assess the effect of tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) on subclinical cardiovascular disease in patients with psoriatic disease. We performed a 2-stage study. In stage 1, carotid total plaque area was assessed in patients with psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis (PsA) (n = 319) by ultrasound at baseline and after 2-3 years. The annual progression rate of atherosclerosis was the outcome of interest. In stage 2, PsA patients receiving TNFi (n = 21) and age- and sex-matched PsA patients not receiving any biologic agent (n = 13) underwent 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography at baseline and 1 year to assess vascular inflammation, measured as target-to-background ratio (TBR). In both stages, multivariable regression analyses adjusted for cardiovascular risk factors and use of statins were performed. In stage 1, men had significantly higher atherosclerosis progression than women (P < 0.001). TNFi was associated with reduced atherosclerosis progression in men after controlling for cardiovascular risk and use of statins (adjusted β = -2.20 [95% confidence interval -3.41, -1.00], P < 0.001). There was no association between TNFi and atherosclerosis progression in women (P = 0.74). In stage 2, pa...Continue Reading

Inflammation plays a significant role in the development of cardiovascular diseases, an understanding of these endogenous processes is critical for evaluating the risks and potential treatment strategies. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular inflammation here.

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.

Atherosclerosis Disease Progression

Atherosclerosis is the buildup of plaque on artery walls, causing stenosis which can eventually lead to clinically apparent cardiovascular disease. Find the latest research on atherosclerosis disease progression here.
