Research progress on cardiovascular risk in juvenile idiopathic arthritis / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

ABSTRACT

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common chronic arthritis in childhood, and its pathological changes are similar to the inflammatory process of atherosclerosis.The traditional risk factors of cardiovascular disease include hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity, diabetes, and so on.These risk factors may have a superposition effect on the inflammatory reaction of JIA and cause vascular endothelial dysfunction, but whether this will increase the risk of cardiovascular disease in JIA in the future, whether JIA is a new cardiovascular risk factor is still to to be confirmed.
