Abstract

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). 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. .
