类风湿关节炎患者心血管风险的管理

摘要

类风湿关节炎（rheumatoid arthritis，RA）患者心血管病发病率和死亡率的风险增加。吸烟、高血压、血脂异常、胰岛素抵抗、糖尿病、肥胖和体力活动缺乏传统危险因素不能完全解释 RA 心血管风险。炎性反应在 RA 和心血管病之间起着重要作用，不仅参与动脉粥样硬化的各个阶段：内皮功能障碍、斑块破裂和血栓形成，而且还能加速传统心血管风险，如血脂异常、肥胖和胰岛素抵抗。目前关于 RA 和心血管病之间确切的发病机制尚不清楚，对 RA 心血管风险管理是必要的。%The risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality is increased in rheumatoid arthritis patients.The classical cardiovascular risk factors,including smoking,hypertension,dyslipidaemia,insulin resistance and diabetes mellitus,obesity and physical inactivity could not explain the excessive cardiovascular risk in rheumatoid arthritis patients.A very important link between rheumatoid arthritis and cardiovascular disease is inflammation as it plays a key role in all stages of atherosclerosis:from endothelial dysfunction to plaque rupture and thrombosis.It also accentuates some traditional cardiovascular risk factors,such as dyslipidaemia,obesity and insulin resistance.To date,the exact pathophysiologic mechanism by which the relation between cardiovascular disease and rheumatoid arthritis can be explained is not completely clear.Cardiovascular risk management in rheumatoid arthritis is mandatory.
