Abstract

Introduction: Rheumatoid Arthritis is a systemic autoimmune disease leading to chronic progressive damage and significant disability, which also increases the cardiovascular risk by comparison to the general population. The aim of this study was to determine the association between treatments and cardiovascular risk. Methods: Ccross sectional study that included 70 subjects diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, with an age range 25 to 84 year-old. Patients, who met the inclusion criteria were assessed the cardiovascular risk using QRISK–2 score. Disease activity was assessed by using DAS-28 for each type of treatment. Results: Patients from both hospitals, Carlos Andrade Marín and Enrique Garcés had similar demographic data. Most chosen patients were in remission of their disease and only a a few had rheumatic activity. There was not association between rheumatic activity, assessed by DAS -28, and Cardiovascular Risk, measured by QRISK–2. Though, we found a singnificant association between treatment (DMARD + corticoid + AINE´s) with Low-Cardiovascular risk in hospital patients (OR: 5.9; 95%CI: 1.1, 33.2). Discusion: There were significant differences between the type of treatment and the cardiovascular risk. No association was found between cardiovascular risk and inflammation, though, theres was a strong relationship with age, (>65 years-old), education level and comorbidities.
