Cardiovascular comobidities in RA patients

The increased cardiovascular risks in RA include acute coronary syndromes (ACS). The extent to which DMARD-induced remission could reduce the risk of ACS in RA versus rates in the general population – and whether there are DMARD-specific beneficial effects on ACS risk – remain unknown.

One-third of adults in the U.S. with Type 2 diabetes may have symptomless cardiovascular disease

1 in 3 adults with Type 2 diabetes may have undetected cardiovascular disease. Elevated levels of two protein biomarkers that indicate heart damage were associated with undetected or symptomless cardiovascular disease in adults with Type 2 diabetes compared to those without Type 2 diabetes, according to new research published today in the Journal of the American Heart Association, an open access, peer-reviewed journal of the American Heart Association.

Most American Indian/Alaska Native women of childbearing age have suboptimal heart health, AHA reports

Heart health risks emerge early in life in American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) women and are increased by social factors - like high levels of experiencing violence and traumatic life events - and disproportionately high rates of Type 2 diabetes, smoking and obesity, according to a new scientific statement published today in Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes, a peer-reviewed American Heart Association journal.
