ABSTRACT

The frequency and risk factors for the development of diastolic dysfunction (DD) in patients with CPPD and OA have not been studied. The objective of this study was to determine the frequency and identify risk factors (RF) for the development of DD of the left and right ventricles (LV and RV) in patients with calcium pyrophosphate crystal deposition disease (CPPD) and osteoarthritis (OA). The study included 26 patients with CPPD and with knee OA 18-65 years old, matched in age and gender, without cardiovascular disease (CVD), type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2), and rheumatic diseases. Conventional risk factors (TRF) of CVD were assessed, and echocardiography was performed. The frequency of DD in patients with CPPD and OA was quite high and almost did not differ in both groups: it was detected in 19 patients, of which 11 (42%) had CPPD and 8 (31%) had OA (p = 0.39). Type 1 LV DD was detected in 10 (39%) patients with CPPD and in 8 (31%) with OA (p = 0.11); type 1RV DD was detected in 8 (31%) patients with CPPD and in 7 (27%) patients with OA (p = 0.17); and type 1 LV DD and RV DD was detected in 7 (27%) patients with both CPPD and with OA. DD types 2 and 3 were not detected in both groups. There were no differences in both groups in CV risk factors, except for the level of CRP (it was higher in CPPD) (p = 0.03). In the CPPD group, mean values of LV E/E' (p = 0.02), LVDT (p = 0.03), LVMI (p = 0.04) were significantly higher than in patients with OA. On the contrary, in patients with OA, indices EDV (p = 0.004) and TVC (p = 0.02) were higher. There were direct correlations between diastolic function indices and the following factors in CPPD: LVL, PWLV and PTH level (r = 0.7, p <0.005), LV E' and PTH level (r = 0.7, p < 0.005). Inverse correlations were found between the level of PTH and IS (r = -0.5, p < 0.005), LVMI (r = -0.5, p < 0.005), and the level of vitamin D and VDDT (r = -0.6, p < 0.005). Direct correlations in OA were found between the level of CRP and PVAdiast (r = 0.6, p < 0.005), and the level of sUA (r = 0.7, p < 0.005), and the level of vitamin D and E/E'LV (r = 0.6, p < 0.005). A high prevalence of LV and RV DD was found in patients with CPPD and OA. The presence of DD in CPPD was associated with lower vitamin D levels, and in OA with a higher level of sUA and a lower level of PTH.

ABSTRACT

AIM: To determine N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) before the use of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs); to compare NT-proBNP values with traditional risk factors (TRF), cardiovascular diseases (CVD), inflammatory markers, and left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction (DD). SUBJECTS AND METHODS: The investigation enrolled 74 patients with a valid RA diagnosis (the 2010 ACR/EULAR criteria), 56 (74%) women, median (Me) age, 54 years; disease duration, 7 months; seropositive for IgM rheumatoid factor (87%) and/or anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies (100%) with no history of the use of DMARDs and glucocorticosteroids. Duplex scanning and echographic findings were used to assess TRF for CVD and carotid artery atherosclerosis (CAA) in all the patients with early RA prior to therapy. An E/A ratio was used as a criterion for LVDD. RESULTS: NT-proBNP concentrations in patients with early RA proved to be higher than those in the control group (p<0.0001). Higher-than-normal NT-proBNP levels were seen in 36 (49%) patients. The patients with early RA and elevated NT-proBNP values were older and had a higher body mass index (BMI) than those with normal NT-proBNP levels. Those with elevated NT-proBNP concentrations were more frequently found to have CAA, coronary calcification, and coronary heart disease; their intima-media thickness was also larger and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels higher than in those with normal NT-proBNP values. There were correlations between NT-proBNP levels and erythrocyte sedimentation rate, CRP, simplified disease activity index, and clinical disease activity index. Multivariate analysis revealed that chronic heart failure (CHF), CAA, CRP and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels, and BMI correlated with NT-proBNP concentrations. LVDD was detected in 35 (48%) patients with early RA. The level of NT-proBNP in patients with DD was higher than in those without DD. Higher-than-normal NT-proBNP values were observed in 23 (65%) and 12 (32%) patients with and without LVDD, respectively. The optimal NT-proBNP level for CHF detection was equal to 237.4 pg/ml (86% sensitivity and 85% specificity); the area under the ROC curve was 0.879. CONCLUSION: Just at the early disease stage, the patients are noted to have a high NT-proBNP level that is influenced by higher BMI, low LDL levels, CAA, CHF, and high CRP values. In the patients with early RA, the diagnostically significant NT-proBNP concentration for CHF detection was higher (237 pg/ml) than in those without RA (125 pg/ml). The patients with early RA should undergo NT-proBNP determination, LVDD screening, correction of TRF for CVD, atherosclerosis treatment, and remission achievement.

ABSTRACT

AIM: To estimate the rate of diastolic dysfunction (DD) of the left and right ventricles (LV and RV) in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) before using disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) therapy and to investigate its association with traditional risk factors (TRFs) for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and inflammatory markers. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: The investigation enrolled 74 patients with a valid diagnosis of RA, including 56 (74%) women (median age, 54 years; disease duration, 7 months); the patients who were seropositive for rheumatoid factor (RF) (87%) and/or anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) antibodies (100%) who had not been on DMARDs or glucocorticosteroids. TRFs for CVD and carotid artery atherosclerosis were assessed from duplex scanning data and echocardiography was performed in all the patients with early RA before starting the therapy. The ratio of the maximum blood flow velocity during early diastolic filling (E) to that during atrial systole (A) was used as a criterion for LVDD and RVDD. There were 3 types of impaired ventricular filling: 1) E/A <1; 2) E/A = 1-2; 3) E/A > 2. RESULTS: LVDD and RVDD were detected in 35 (48%) and 17 (23%) patients, respectively. RVDD was recorded only in conjunction with LVDD. Among LVDD and RVDD, the former was prevalent. All the patients with early RA were divided into 3 groups: 1) patients with LVDD and RVDD; 2) those with LVDD; 3) those without ventricular DD. All the three groups were matched for the level of DAS28, anti-CCP antibodies, and RF. The incidence of arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia, and abdominal obesity was higher in the patients of Groups 1 and 2 than in those of Group 3. There was a progressive decrease in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol concentrations and increases in triglyceride (TG) levels and atherogenic index from Group 3 to Group 1, with the concentrations of total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol being similar in the 3 groups. Coronary heart disease was recorded more frequently in Group 2 than in Group 3. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) proved to be also significantly higher in the patients with DD than in those without DD. Correlations were found between LV E/A and ESR, CRP, HDL cholesterol, TG, RV E/A and ESR, DAS28, TG. CONCLUSION: The patients with early-stage RA were found to have high incidence rates of LVDD and RVDD, which is related to the high prevalence of CVD, the high spread of TRF for CVD, and the high activity of an inflammatory process.
