Abstract
Coronary heart disease (CHD) and its complications occupy the leading place in the pattern of the causes of untimely death in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Objective: to study the incidence, pattern, and specific features of CHD in patients with RA. Patients and methods. An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted in 257 patients with RA (ARA, 1987). The patients’ mean age was 55.4±11.6 years; RA duration was 14.7years (range 2—20 years). Results. The incidence of CHD in RA was as much as 45.9% (n = 118), including 52.5% (n = 62) for typical angina pectoris on exertion; 25.4% (n = 30) and 22.1% (n = 26) for silent ischemia and arrhythmias, respectively. A high proportion of vertebrogenic cardialgias (48.8%; n = 100) were noted in those who complained of heart pain. The authors identified traditional risk factors, such as hypertension (OR = 12.1), smoking (OR = 10.2), early menopause (OR = 3.6), decreased glomerular filtration rate (OR = 3.5), cardiovascular heredity (OR = 3.1), overweight (OR = 2.5), a heart rate of more than 70 beats/min (OR = 2.3), atherogenic dyslipidemia (OR = 2.3), hyperglycemia (OR = 2.1), and age (OR = 1.7). Along with those, the authors also ascertained CHD predictors associating with chronic inflammation consequences: use of glucocorticoids (OR = 5.0), concomitant anemia as a common complication of RA (OR = 4.7), high DAS 28 scores (OR = 3.7), visual analog scale pain scores of > 50 mm (OR = 2.6), and RA duration of >10 years (OR = 2.2). Conclusion. The specific features of CHD in RA include the frequent detection of arrhythmias and silent ischemia. The importance of the degree of inflammatory activity along with the traditional risk factors of CHD is apparent.
