Chronic inflammation lecture: Inflammation, rheumatoid arthritis and cardiovascular disease
Yvette Meißner

Some of the pivotal pro-inflammatory mediators, including the cytokines tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), interleukin 1 (IL-1) and interleukin 6 (IL-6), as well as the acute-phase reactant C-reactive protein (CRP), are involved in atherogenesis and eventually in the development of coronary artery diseases. The autoimmune disease of rheumatoid arthritis is characterized by chronic inflammation primarily affecting the joints. However, patients with rheumatoid arthritis have an increased burden of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality compared to the general population. This lecture will summarize current insights into chronic inflammation as a link between cardiovascular events and rheumatoid arthritis. Furthermore, experiences from the German observational cohort RABBIT (Rheumatoid Arthritis: Observation of Biologic Therapy) with regard to cardiovascular diseases will be presented.
