Abstract
Rheumatological pathologies such as systemic lupus erythematosus
and rheumatoid arthritis are at increased risk of developing
cardiovascular disease. Pericarditis, myocarditis, valvular involvement
and electrocardiographic disorders are the most frequent manifestations
of cardiovascular disease. This increased risk is attributed to an increased
prevalence of traditional risk factors such as arterial hypertension,
smoking, dyslipidemia and risk factors characteristic of the disease such as
Disease activity, inflammation and drugs used for treatment of rheumatoid
arthritis and Lupus. To reduce the burden posed by cardiovascular disease
requires optimal management of traditional risk factors and intrinsic risk
factors to rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.
