Download or read book Rheumatoid Arthritis A Clinical Handbook written by Travis Reagan and published by American Medical Publishers. This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rheumatic arthritis (RA) is the condition in which the body's immune system attacks the joints. This causes the tissue lining of the synovium to thicken, leading to swelling and pain around the joints. If the inflammation is not controlled, it can damage the bone and cartilage. Over time, joints become loose, painful and unstable, and lose their mobility. RA most commonly affects women between the ages of 30 and 60, while in men it occurs later in life. The development of RA is subject to an interplay between genetic and environmental factors. Close to a hundred different genes have been implicated with RA. The early diagnosis and aggressive treatment of rheumatoid arthritis is necessary before extensive damage of the joints sets in as the condition is irreversible. With the aid of medical imaging techniques, such as MRI, ultrasound and X-rays, a diagnosis of RA can be established. Generally, anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents, disease-modifying drugs and certain lifestyle modifications are recommended for the management of RA. This book includes some of the vital pieces of work being conducted across the world, on various topics related to rheumatoid arthritis. It provides significant information of this condition to help develop a good understanding of the management of rheumatoid arthritis. Through this book, we attempt to further enlighten the readers about the new concepts in orthopedics.

Download or read book Cardiovascular Risk in Rheumatoid Arthritis and Other Inflammatory Disorders written by and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The risk for cardiovascular disease in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients has been a concern for the last two decades; since research showed that this risk is increased compared to the general population. In 2009, the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) task force recommended screening, identification of CVD risk factors and CVD risk management in RA patients. Since then, substantial new insights in this field has been published, largely based on expert opinion. In the updated recommendations on cardiovascular risk management from the EULAR task force, three overarching principles and 10 recommendations were formulated. These recommendations, are meant to facilitate CVD risk management in daily clinical practice, ultimately leading to a decreased CVD burden in RA patients. We conducted the I-CaRe Project in Reade, Amsterdam, and Antonius Hospital, Sneek to investigate and optimize cardiovascular risk management. Over half of our patients (53%) were found to have a high cardiovascular risk. Furthermore, we identified (under) treatment of CV risk factors in these patients. In total, 69% had an indication to use cholesterol lowering or antihypertensive drugs. Of those, 42% received inadequate treatment and 40% received no treatment at all. Despite clear guidelines, both local (Dutch guideline) and international, like the EUAR guideline, and the active implementation of a screening program, we have to conclude that optimal CV risk management remains a major challenge in the RA population. Not only cardiovascular risk management, but also the prediction of cardiovascular risk itself remains a challenge in the RA population. It appears to make most sense to calculate cardiovascular risk during the period that RA patients are in a state of low or stable disease activity. This of course needs to be further investigated by studies using longer follow up.

Download or read book The Heart in Rheumatic Autoimmune and Inflammatory Diseases written by Udi Nussinovitch and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2017-02-10 with total page 768 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prevalence of autoimmune diseases and rheumatic conditions is constantly increasing. Autoimmune diseases affect approximately 7-10% of the population of the United States, while more than 50,000,000 American adults suffer from some type of arthritis. The Heart in Rheumatic, Autoimmune and Inflammatory Diseases examines the complex mechanisms relating to cardiac diseases from a pathophysiological and clinical point of view. Autoimmune rheumatic diseases can affect the coronary vessels, myocardium, pericardium, heart valves and the conduction system. The diagnosis of these unique cardiac complications necessitates medical awareness and a high index of suspicion. Increased risk of advanced atherosclerosis plays a pivotal role in the development of cardiac diseases in systemic, rheumatic and autoimmune illnesses. Yet, other complex immune medicated mechanisms may contribute to the pathogenesis. Patients' optimal care requires coordination between the primary caregiver, the rheumatologist, immunologist and cardiologist. Screening for cardiovascular risk factors, recognition of high-risk patients and identification of subclinical cardiac conditions are of great importance. Moreover, regulation of inflammation, as well as abnormal immune responses and the initiation of early treatments should be the focus of patient management. A continuous attempt to identify novel therapeutic targets and change the natural history of the underlying disease and its cardiac manifestations is in progress. The book aims at providing the readers with a state of the art collection of up to date information regarding clinically important topics based on experts' perspectives. This book was a result of an extended coordinated collaboration of one-hundred and fifty-four distinguished scientists from thirty-one countries around the globe. A review of common, as well as unusual (yet clinically significant) medical cardiac complications of prevalent rheumatic, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Focuses on aspects of pathophysiological processes, clinical presentations, screening tests, prognostic implications and novel therapeutic approaches. Presents an up-to-date “level of evidence” and “strengths of recommendations” for suggested therapies and reviews all randomized clinical trials, meta-analyses and other supporting published clinical findings.
