Objective To investigate the occurrence of cardiovascular events (CVEs) in a large cohort of patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) across the European Union, China, Turkey, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the USA. Methods Patients with a definite diagnosis of AAV who were followed for ≥ 3 months and had sufficient documentation were included. Data on myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke were collected retrospectively from tertiary vasculitis centers. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs. Results Over a median follow-up of 62.0 months (IQR 22.6-100.0), CVEs (mostly MIs) occurred in 245 (10.7%) of 2286 patients with AAV, with a higher frequency in China and the UK. On multivariate regression analysis, older age (55-64.9 yrs, HR 2.93, 95% CI 1.99-4.31), smoking (HR 1.98, 95% CI 1.48-2.64), Chinese origin (HR 4.24, 95% CI 3.07-5.85), and pulmonary (HR 1.50, 95% CI 1.09-2.06) a

Mashup Score: 0For Your Eyes Only: 007 Tips for the Management of Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody–Associated Vasculitis - 8 month(s) ago
Premature atherosclerosis has been observed during the course of different systemic inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus, and antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV).1-3 As a result, cardiovascular (CV) events, including myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure, coronary artery disease, and death, occur 1.65 to 3 times more commonly in patients with AAV as compared to the general population, and the risk appears to be highest in the first year following diagnosis.3 After the first year, however, CV disease (CVD) remains the most important cause of death besides malignancy and infection. It has been demonstrated that traditional risk factors for CVD, such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, age, and a family history of CVD, are highly prevalent in AAV. In this issue of The Journal of Rheumatology , Moiseev et al demonstrated that smoking and pulmonary involvement were also associated with an increa

Mashup Score: 2Digital Ischemia as a Presenting Feature of Hypereosinophilic Syndrome-Associated Vasculitis - 8 month(s) ago
Hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) is a disease with diverse clinical presentations including cardiac, neurologic, cutaneous, or pulmonary manifestations.1 We present a case of a 64-year-old man, active smoker, with history of occasional cocaine use who visited the emergency department because of progressive darkening of fingertips for 2 weeks, accompanied by intense pain and aggravated by cold temperature. Physical examination showed ischemia of all fingertips bilaterally, with necrosis of left index, middle, and annular fingers and right middle finger (Figure 1, A), associated with decreased temperature and tenderness to palpation.
