ABSTRACT

Resumo Objetivo: Caracterizar pacientes com artrite reumatoide (AR) quanto à presença de fatores de risco para doenças cardiovasculares. Material e métodos: Estudo transversal descritivo com 71 pacientes diagnosticados com AR definida. Foram usados os instrumentos: DAS-28, HAQ e SF-36 e determinados os parâmetros: velocidade de hemossedimentação, glicemia capilar, colesterol total (CT) e suas frações, hormônios tiroidianos, anticorpos antinúcleo (ANA), fator reumatoide (FR) e anticorpos contra proteínas citrulinadas (ACPAs). Os pacientes foram classificados em grupos HAQ ≤ 1 (disfunção leve) e HAQ > 1 (disfunção moderada e grave) e, segundo os escores do HAQ, em grupo tratado com corticosteroides (CE) e sem CE. Resultados: Proporção de nove homens para 62 mulheres com idade e tempo médio de doença de 53,45 (± 10,7) e 9,9 (± 8,6), respectivamente. O FR foi positivo em 52 (76%), os ACPAs em 54 (76,1%) e o ANA em 12 (16,9%). Trinta e seis pacientes (50,7%) apresentaram hipertensão arterial sistêmica, nove (12,68%) diabetes mellitus, 16 (22,5%) hipotireoidismo, 33 (46,5%) dislipidemia e oito (11,27%) tabagismo. O grupo HAQ > 1 (26) apresentou resultados de CT > 240 (53,8%) e o grupo com HAQ ≤ 1 (45) (24,4%) (p = 0,020). Os grupos não diferiram quanto à presença de comorbidades ou tratamento farmacológico. Os níveis de triglicérides > 200 (42,4%) entre os grupos em uso de CE e sem uso (18,42%) foi significativo (p = 0,025). Conclusão: Houve associação do aumento CT e triglicerídeos com resultados de HAQ ≤ 1 e com uso de CE, o que reforça a importância do rastreamento de fatores de risco associados às doenças cardiovasculares na AR.


Abstract Objective: To identify risk factors for cardiovascular disease in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). Material and methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study with 71 patients with established RA. The instruments used were: DAS-28, HAQ and SF-36, and the following parameters were determined: the erythrocyte sedimentation rate, capillary blood glucose; total cholesterol (TC) and its fractions, thyroid hormones, antinuclear antibodies (ANA), rheumatoid factor (RF) and antibodies against citrullinated proteins (ACPAs). Patients were classified into groups HAQ ≤ 1 (mild dysfunction) and HAQ > 1 (moderate and severe dysfunction) and, according to the HAQ scores, in groups treated with corticosteroids (CS) and without CS. Results: 9 patients were male and 62 female with mean age and duration of disease of 53.45 (±10.7) and 9.9 (±8.6), respectively. RF was positive in 52 (76%), ACPAs in 54 (76.1%) and ANA in 12 (16.9%). Thirty-six patients (50.7%) had systemic hypertension, 9 (12.68%) diabetes mellitus, 16 (22.5%) hypothyroidism, 33 (46.5%) dyslipidemia and 8 (11.27%) were smokers. The results of TC > 240 were found in 53.8% for group HAQ > 1 (26) and in 24.4% for group HAQ ≤ 1 (45) (p = 0.020). These groups did not differ as to presence of comorbidities or drug treatment. Triglyceride levels >200 for the group with CS (42.4%) versus without CS (18.42%) were significant (p = 0.025). Conclusion: An association of increased TC and triglycerides with results of HAQ ≤ 1 and with CS use was noted, reinforcing the importance of screening risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease in RA.

ABSTRACT

Vários estudos têm sugerido a associação dos anticorpos anticardiolipina (aCL) com eventos trombóticos na síndrome do anticorpo antifosfolipídeo (SAF) porém, existe evidência que nem todos os pacientes aCL positivos apresentam episódios trombóticos / A strong link between anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL) and thrombosis events in antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is suggested by many studies but there is evidence that not all aCL positive patients present thrombosis episodes...
