Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, multi-system inflammatory disease. The incidence and prevalence of RA varies considerably between geographic areas and over time; the prevalence of RA in adults aged > 20 years in Spain is around 0.5% (Carmona et al, 2002). People with RA also have extra-articular manifestations, presenting an increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality risk; therefore, cardiovascular risk screening and management strategies are necessary in individuals with RA.

SAT0628-HPR Cardiovascular Risk Assessment in Inflammatory Arthritis Patients in A Nurse-led Clinic and Supported by Ultrasonography
TLDR
Adding carotid US to nurse assessment in CVD risk stratification in patient wiht inflammatory arthritis and intermediate risk SCORE increases performance, being thus, a helpful technique for a CV tight control.
Rheumatoid arthritis; a systemic disease with an under-estimated cardiovascular risk
Nurses' Role in Cardiovascular Risk Assessment and Management in People with Inflammatory Arthritis: A European Perspective.
TLDR
It is found that trained nurses were undertaking CVR assessment and management in different settings and groups of patients, and this is considered to be a highly relevant task for rheumatology nursing, especially in patients with IA.
Living With Rheumatoid Arthritis in Spain: A Qualitative Study of Patient Experience and the Role of Health Professionals
TLDR
Rheumatoid arthritis patients in Spain would benefit from having contact with specialist nurses who could empower them to self-manage their disease, as happens in other countries.
AB1216-HPR A Study of Possible Correlations of Sleep Disturbance with Disease Activity, Psychological State and Health Status in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
TLDR
Sleep disturbance was more strongly correlated with psychological state rather than disease activity and physical state and addressing sleep disturbance symptoms may improve not only psychological state but also PGA, resulting in achievement of remission.
- 349-ROLE OF GENE POLYMORPHISM OF INTERLUKIN-1 AND ITS RECEPTOR ANTAGONIST IN CAROTID ATHEROSCLEROSIS OF RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS PATIENTS
TLDR
Data suggest that allele 1 of the IL-1 β gene and allele1 of theIL-1ra gene represent a susceptibility factor in the development of carotid atherosclerosis in RA patients.
Evaluation of the impact of nursing clinics in the rheumatology services
TLDR
The presence of NCR in the rheumatology services contributes to improve some clinical outcomes, a lower frequency of primary care consultations and better work productivity of patients with rheumatic diseases.
AB1217-HPR Sle-Related Fatigue From Patient and Partner Perspective
TLDR
In several domains, patients and partners showed comparable impact of fatigue on their lives, and differences were found regarding prioritizing of affected domains and the impact on cognitive functioning, quality of partner relationship and future plans.
SAT0631-HPR Chronic Disease and Self-Injection: Ethnographic Investigations into The Patient Experience during Treatment
TLDR
By examining the pt treatment journey in a novel way, FI(CODE) and IM2020 identified common problems along the treatment pathway, advancing the understanding to help improve pt treatment experience.

Six-step management of hypertension in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
TLDR
The complexity of managing hypertension in rheumatoid arthritis patients is unraveled and practical recommendations that may be useful in clinical practice are made.
The effect of pharmacological therapy on the cardiovascular system of patients with systemic rheumatic diseases.
Traditional cardiovascular risk factors, inflammation and cardiovascular risk in rheumatoid arthritis.
TLDR
A gap in knowledge exists regarding detailed information on individual risk factors in RA, their prevalence and modifications that occur as a result of inflammation or treatment, and more studies are needed to develop methods for accurate CV risk estimation in RA.
Benefits of Exercise in Rheumatoid Arthritis
TLDR
All RA patients should be encouraged to include aerobic and resistance exercise training as part of routine care and the multitude of beneficial effects that properly designed exercise training has in this population is demonstrated.
Cardiovascular risk in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: assessment of several traditional risk parameters and a German risk score model
TLDR
Cardiovascular co-morbidity in RA patients must be seen as a major prevention and treatment target and should be monitored adequately.
Assessment of cardiovascular risk in rheumatoid arthritis: impact of the new EULAR recommendations on the score cardiovascular risk index
TLDR
The final impact on the calculated CV risk was low and clinically significant in only a few patients, however, an association between the mSCORE and the presence of ischemic CV events was observed.

TLDR
It is suggested that physically inactive RA patients have significantly worse CVD risk profile compared with physically active patients, and the possible beneficial impact of increased physical activity to the CVDrisk of RA patients needs to be accurately assessed in prospective studies.
HLA-DRB1 and persistent chronic inflammation contribute to cardiovascular events and cardiovascular mortality in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
TLDR
The results suggest that a chronically high inflammatory response in genetically predisposed individuals promotes an increased risk of CV events and CV mortality in RA.
Rheumatoid arthritis susceptibility genes associate with lipid levels in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
TLDR
Rheumatoid arthritis susceptibility genes may be involved in the regulation of lipid metabolism in RA patients, thus contributing to cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk and adverse outcome.
EULAR evidence-based recommendations for cardiovascular risk management in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and other forms of inflammatory arthritis
TLDR
Ten recommendations were made for CV risk management in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, and the strength of the recommendations differed between RA on the one hand, and AS and PsA, on the other, as evidence for an increased CV risk is most compelling for RA.
