Abstract
Despite a significant progress of the recent decades, incidence of cardiovascular complications in patients with manifest, stable ischemic heart disease (IHD) is still high. Furthermore, this patient group is heterogenous; individuals with a higher risk of cardiovascular complications can be isolated from this group based on the presence of comorbidities and acute IHD on the background of the therapy. Such patients require a more aggressive treatment to influence major components of the increased risk. Even after administration of an optimum therapy, the risk for complications in such patients remains high (residual risk). The article discusses the lipid, inflammatory, and thrombotic components of residual risk in IHD patients and possibilities of their control with drugs with a special focus on possibilities of pharmaceutical correction of the risk thrombotic component in IHD patients with diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Chronic inflammatory diseases including human immunodeficiency virus infection, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, and systemic lupus erythematosus predispose to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a common chronic inflammatory condition, and the United States has the highest prevalence worldwide. IBD has so far been overlooked as a contributor to the burden of ASCVD among young and middle-age adults, but meta-analyses of cohort studies suggest that IBD is an independent risk factor for ASCVD. This review discusses the epidemiological links between IBD and ASCVD and potential mechanisms underlying these associations. ASCVD risk management of patients with IBD is challenging because of their young age and the inability of current risk scores to fully capture their increased risk. The role of IBD in current primary prevention guidelines is evaluated, and strategies for enhanced ASCVD risk reduction in patients with IBD are outlined. Finally, the authors discuss knowledge gaps and future research directions in this innovative field.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are often regarded as 2 distinct entities. The commonest manifestation of atherosclerosis is ischemic heart disease (IHD), and an association between IHD and IBD has been reported. Atherosclerosis and IBD share common pathophysiological mechanisms in terms of their genetics, immunology, and contributing environmental factors. Factors associated with atherosclerosis are implicated in the development of IBD and vice versa. Therefore, treatments targeting the common pathophysiology pathways may be effective in both conditions. The current review considers the pathophysiological pathways that are shared between the 2 conditions and discusses the implications for treatment and research.

GlycA measured by NMR spectroscopy is associated with disease activity and cardiovascular disease risk in chronic inflammatory diseases. Am J Prev Cardiol 2020; 4:100120.

Abstract
GlycA is a biomarker of systemic inflammation, quantifying both the protein concentrations and glycosylation states of several acute phase proteins. GlycA has been shown to be associated with both subclinical atherosclerosis and with cardiovascular disease (CVD). GlycA levels are higher in acute and chronic inflammation. During ongoing systemic inflammatory processes, GlycA specific acute phase reactants and proteins undergo circulating concentration and glycosylation pattern changes, and these alterations are reflected in the GlycA NMR signal. Additionally, levels associate with ongoing disease severity in individuals with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and psoriasis thus capturing active inflammation. Furthermore, in these disease states, GlycA is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) independent of traditional risk factors including C-reactive protein (CRP). Finally, GlycA levels decrease with exercise, weight loss, and systemic anti-inflammatory agents. Therefore, GlycA appears to be a promising new composite biomarker of active systemic inflammation including assessing CVD risk in patients with inflammatory diseases. Patients with chronic inflammatory disorders are at increased risk for cardiovascular diseasenot captured by traditional risk factors. GlycA is a biomarker of acute phase reactants by NMR spectroscopy which captures disease activity in human inflammatory diseases. GlycA associates with cardiovascular disease and offers a tool to monitor primary disease activity and assess CVD risk in inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Background: Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) associated-chronic inflammation and
autonomic dysregulation may predispose to arrhythmias. However, its exact
prevalence is unknown. Thus, we aimed to ascertain the prevalence of
arrhythmias in patients with IBD. Methods: We queried the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (the largest publicly available
all-payer inpatient USA database) from 2012 to 2014. We used the
International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical
Modification (ICD-9 CM) discharge codes to identify adult patients
(⩾18 years) with IBD and dysrhythmias (supraventricular tachycardia (SVT),
atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, ventricular tachycardia (VT), or
ventricular fibrillation). Furthermore, we identified risk factors for
cardiovascular disease. We divided patients into 2 cohorts, IBD cohorts, and
non-IBD cohort. The independent effect of a diagnosis of IBD on the risk of
dysrhythmias was examined using a multivariable logistic regression model
controlling for multiple confounders. Results: We identified 847 235 and 84 757 349 weighted hospitalizations among patients
with IBD and non-IBD cohorts, respectively. Patients with IBD were less
likely to be hospitalized for dysrhythmias than the non-IBD (9.7% vs 14.2%,
P < .001). The hospitalization odds for dysrhythmias
among patients with IBD were less than the general population (OR 0.87; 95%
CI 0.85-0.88). However, the prevalence of SVT and VT was indifferent between
the 2 groups. Male sex, age of over 60, and white race were risk factors for
dysrhythmias. Conclusion: Despite prior reports of a higher prevalence of arrhythmias among patients
with IBD, in a nationwide inpatient database, we found lower rates of
hospitalization-related-arrhythmias in the IBD population compared to that
of the general population.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic, relapsing disease of unknown etiology involving gastrointestinal tract. IBD comprises two main entities: ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Several studies showed increased risk of cardiovascular complications in chronic inflammatory disorders, especially during IBD relapses. Endothelium plays a role in physiologic regulation of vascular tone, cell adhesion, migration and resistance to thrombosis. Also, its dysfunction is associated with increased risk of atherosclerosis development. There are several potential links between chronic IBD-related inflammatory processes and the risk of cardiovascular disease, but insight into pathogenetic pathways remains unclear. We present the current concepts and review of adult and pediatric studies on the risk of CVD in IBD.

Abstract
The endothelium has a crucial role in proper hemodynamics. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is mainly a chronic inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract. However, considerable evidence points to high cardiovascular risk in patients with IBD. This review positions the basic mechanisms of endothelial dysfunction in the IBD setting (both clinical and experimental). Furthermore, we review the main effects of drugs used to treat IBD in endothelial (dys)function. Moreover, we leave challenging points for enlarging the therapeutic arsenal for IBD with new or repurposed drugs that target endothelial dysfunction besides inflammation.

Abstract
Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a harmful disease that poses a serious threat to human life. By effectively controlling its risk factors, the occurrence and development of CVD can be reduced, and people’s health status and quality of life can be improved. Methods A total of 36,215 participants were collected from participants of the Early Screening and Comprehensive Intervention Program for High Risk Population of Cardiovascular Disease in Tianjin on July 31, 2017. We analyzed the relationship between CVD risk and personal information, personal and family medical history, biochemical index, and physical fitness index using Pearson’s chi-squared test with and without Yates’s correction for continuity, and Fisher’s exact test. CVD risk-related factors were examined through logistic regression and decision tree analysis. Results A personal history of hypertension and apoplexy had a contingency coefficient with CVD risk of more than 0.3. A higher risk of CVD was also found to be associated with biochemical markers of cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and blood sugar. Logistic regression analysis revealed 12 indicators to be influencing factors of CVD, including age, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and the number of people aged >90 in the family. Hypertension, SBP, BMI, cholesterol, and blood glucose were associated with five or more other indicators. Conclusions The prevalence of CVD risk factors in Tianjin residents is relatively high. Family disease history and individual physical fitness indicators need to be taken into account during CVD screening and intervention, to reduce the risk of CVD.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
The epidemiology of Behçet’s disease (BD) has not been well characterized in the UK. Evidence on the risk of cardiovascular disease, thromboembolic disease and mortality in patients with BD compared with the general population is scarce.
Methods
We used a large UK primary care database to investigate the epidemiology of BD. A retrospective matched cohort study was used to assess the following outcomes: risk of cardiovascular, thromboembolic disease and mortality. Controls were selected at a 1:4 ratio (age and gender matched). Cox proportional hazard models were used to derive adjusted hazard ratios (aHR).
Results
The prevalence of BD was 14.61 (95% CI 13.35–15.88) per 100 000 population in 2017. A total of 1281 patients with BD were compared with 5124 age- and gender-matched controls. There was significantly increased risk of ischaemic heart disease [aHR 3.09 (1.28–7.44)], venous thrombosis [aHR 4.80 (2.42–9.54)] and mortality [aHR 1.40 (1.07–1.84)] in patients with BD compared with corresponding controls. Patients with BD were at higher risk of pulmonary embolism compared with corresponding controls at baseline [adjusted odds ratio 4.64 (2.66–8.09), P < 0.0001]. The majority of patients with pulmonary embolism and a diagnosis of BD had pulmonary embolism preceding the diagnosis of BD, not after (87.5%; n = 28/32).
Conclusion
BD has a higher prevalence than previously thought. Physicians should be aware of the increased risk of developing ischaemic heart disease, stroke/transient ischaemic attack and deep venous thrombosis in patients with BD at an earlier age compared with the general population. Risk of embolism in patients with BD might vary across the disease course.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The goal of this study was to determine long-term mortality and causes of death in patients after hospitalization for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). METHODS A cohort of patients admitted to the hospital because of IBD for the first time between 1998 and 2010 was identified by linkage of nationwide Dutch registries. Mortality risks and causes of death in Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) patients were compared with a large random sample of individuals from the general population. Multivariable Cox regression models were used to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS In total, 23,003 patients (56.1% women; mean age, 44.8 years) were hospitalized for IBD. Patients admitted for IBD had a higher risk of death than those from the general population. Adjusted HRs for 5-year all-cause mortality were 2.42 (95% CI, 1.15-5.12) and 1.45 (95% CI, 1.26-1.66) in men and women hospitalized for CD, respectively. Corresponding HRs for UC were 1.59 (95% CI, 1.39-1.83) and 1.13 (95% CI, 0.98-1.31). Mortality among patients after hospitalization for IBD decreased between 1998-2004 and 2005-2010. Patients admitted for UC had a higher risk of all-cause mortality than those admitted for CD. Inflammatory bowel disease patients died more often from (colorectal) cancer and gastrointestinal disease and less often from cardiovascular disease relative to the general population. CONCLUSIONS Mortality of patients after hospitalization for IBD has decreased over time. Causes of death in CD and UC patients differ from those in the general population.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) refers to a group of chronic inflammatory diseases that targets mainly the gastrointestinal tract. The clinical presentation of IBD includes both gastrointestinal manifestations and extraintestinal manifestations (EIM). The reported cardiovascular manifestations in IBD patients include pericarditis, myocarditis, venous and arterial thromboembolism, arrhythmias, atrioventricular block, heart failure, endocarditis, valvulopathies, and Takayasu arteritis. The aim of this article is to review the available literature about the possible pathogenic mechanisms and determine preventive measures capable of reducing the incidence and severity of the cardiovascular manifestations. In IBD patients, the incidence of cardiovascular manifestations is low, but higher than that in the general population. Therefore, clinicians should pay attention to any new modification that might indicate cardiovascular involvement in IBD patients, and they should consider chronic inflammatory diseases in patients with cardiac conditions without an evident cause. Considering the role of inflammation in the development of cardiovascular manifestations, the management should include prevention of flares and maintenance of remission for as long as possible. Preventive measures should also include active screening and strict control of the cardiovascular risk factors in all IBD patients.
