![Cardiovascular changes associated with AS may begin early in the disease process. Thus, assessment of cardiovascular risk should be routine for all patients affected with this disease. Preventing CVD or cardiovascular death depends on early identification and effective management of traditional cardiovascular risk factors such as hypertension or hypercholesterolemia. Despite their importance, screening and treatment of CVD risk factors in patients with rheumatic diseases are often suboptimal. One reason for suboptimal management may be confusion over who is responsible for monitoring cardiovascular risk in patients with AS.[14] The lack of disease-specific guidelines for risk assessment is another concern. Ensuring patients with AS are screened and managed appropriately for CVD will require collaboration between the rheumatologist or specialist nurse, the general practitioner, and the patient.[14]](https://www.medicalbag.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2020/05/8heartmonitorvitalsignsts_1032652-544x306.jpg)
