Abstract | Background: Multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) measured coronary, carotid
and aortic artery calcium score (CS) reflecting calcified atherosclerotic plaque (CAP)
which are associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) and stroke. This study is
designed to evaluate the prevalence and pattern of CS in asymptomatic rheumatoid
arthritis (RA) patients compare with controls subjects.
Methods: 85 age and sex matched RA patients (mean age 53.9±11.8) and controls
(mean age 56.3±10.0) were enrolled. All subjects underwent 64MDCT scan to evaluate
CS in coronary, carotid arteries and the aorta.
Results: Presence of CAP were more prevalent in RA patients compared to controls in
coronary artery (41% vs. 18%, p=0.013), carotid artery (19% vs. 6%, p=0.018) and aorta
(64% vs. 12%, p<0.001). The prevalence of calcium was over 90% in RA patients at the
age of 60 or above and in 55% of control subjects. After adjustment with age and sex,
RA patients had a 5.0, 5.7 and 19.5 risk folds to have CAP in coronary, carotid and aortic
artery. Aorta of RA patients had the highest frequency of CS > 0 (63.5%) compared with
coronary artery in control subjects (11.8%) and this pattern remained the same upon age
stratification (42.9-85.2% in RA patients and 4.2-34.5% in control subjects).
Conclusions-RA patients have significantly higher prevalence and extent of CAP
compared with age and sex matched controls. In addition, a significant different
calcification pattern was noted between RA patients and control subjects. |
