Abstract Background and aims Familial inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) history is a controversial prognostic factor in IBD. We aimed to evaluate the impact of familial IBD on use medical surgical treatments biological era. Methods Patients included prospectively maintained ENEIDA database diagnosed with after 2005 were included. forms defined as those cases at least one first-degree relative Disease phenotype, agents, or main outcomes. Results A total 5263 patients [2627 Crohn’s (CD); 2636...
<h3>Background:</h3> Subjects with rheumatic diseases have an increased risk of cardiovascular morbimortality. Hypertension (HTN) is a key modifiable factor for events (1). A recently published and validated prediction model (Predicting Out-of-Office Blood Pressure, PROOF-BP) has been proposed as tool to improve diagnosis HTN, detection out-of-office HTN in subjects previous diagnosis, <i>c</i>-statistic (AUC) 0.86 non-rheumatic (2). This not explored patients. <h3>Objectives:</h3> To...
<h3>Background</h3> Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, inflammatory, autoimmune disease of the joints. Current classification criteria for RA diagnosis requires presence either rheumatoid factor (RF) or anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA). These have also been linked to chronic air pollutants exposure, such as tobacco smoke and biomass fuel smoke. Patients with COPD exposure higher levels ACPA (1). Nearly 50% world's population still rely on fuels cooking, heating industry,...
<h3>Background:</h3> Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory disease with increased mortality compared to the general population. The measurement of carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) used as independent marker subclinical atherosclerosis. <h3>Objectives:</h3> To determine prevalence plaque (CP) in a cohort Mexican RA subjects and diagnostic performance cardiovascular risk (CVR) calculators for prediction augmented CIMT CP. <h3>Methods:</h3> A cross-sectional study aged from 40-75...
<h3>Background:</h3> There is a 50% increase in cardiovascular mortality RA compared to controls. Chronic inflammation causes endothelial dysfunction and accelerated atherosclerosis. Key molecular pathways this process are dependent on cytokines like TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6, among others, which shared with RA. Increased disease activity could contribute Carotid ultrasound (US) has recently been recommended as screening tool for early detection of subclinical <h3>Objectives:</h3> To compare...
<h3>Background</h3> Multiple benefits from physical activity (PA) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients have been described; exercise RA is associated with a cardiovascular (CV) protective role, resulting lower waist-hip ratio, vascular stiffness and hypertension (1). Other important advantage of PA the impact observed disease activity; regular reduced DAS28 (2). There are no previous studies evaluating effect on carotid Ultrasound (US) findings Mexican-mestizo patients. <h3>Objectives</h3>...
<h3>Background:</h3> Several immune-inflammatory diseases are associated with an increased prevalence of cardiovascular diseases. Risk reduction through improved control traditional risk (CVR) factors and the adoption healthy lifestyle behaviors critically important to reduce CVR, although general population must be aware their CVR make sound decisions. Individuals who perceive more likely adopt it, such as smoking cessation, exercise, weight loss, medication compliance. <h3>Objectives:</h3>...
<h3>Background</h3> Patients with rheumatic diseases (RD) have a higher cardiovascular risk (CVR), compared to the general population (1). The increased risk, in this population, tends be associated chronic inflammation generated by RD. Another contributor is coexistence of traditional CVR factors, such as diabetes, hypertension, obesity, smoking, and dyslipidemia (2). It known that adequate control factors can reduce overall CVR. Due burden, there's growing awareness assessment patients....
<h3>Background:</h3> Prevalence of depression is higher in subjects with rheumatic diseases (RD) when compared to other general medical conditions. It's associated chronic pain and long-term treatment. The Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9) an extensively validated screening tool, a negative predictive value 99%; it has several advantages, like being self-applied able be used by any clinician. Currently there are no trials using this tool Mexican patients. <h3>Objectives:</h3> To...
<h3>Background:</h3> It has been described an increased prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. When compared with the general population, CVD mortality is 50% higher RA (1). reported a 35.3% Latin-American population (2). Cardio-rheuma (CR) clinics were designed to enhance detection, prevention and treatment patients rheumatic conditions. Our clinic located University Hospital Monterrey Mexico, first only established Latin-America since 2014....
<h3>Background</h3> Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic, inflammatory disease that mainly affects the synovial joints. Subjects with RA have an increased cardiovascular (CV) morbimortality (1). This increase in diseases (CVD) not explained by traditional risk factors (2). Screening for CVD patients essential part of CV management. Echocardiography simple, non-invasive approach provides reliable markers cardiac evaluation (3). <h3>Objectives</h3> To determine prevalence...
Background: Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) have higher incidence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) compared to general population. There is controversy about the impact RA disease activity on left ventricular systolic function (LVSF) 1 . LVSF may be assessed by conventional methods like ejection fraction (LVEF) and myocardial shortening or novel techniques evaluating strain such as speckle tracking echocardiography (STE). Objectives: To assess using STE. Methods: Observational,...
