Cardiovascular Disease
CVD, Non-CVD Mortality Increased With Azithromycin Use
Outpatient azithromycin use is associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular and noncardiovascular mortality.
Adverse Childhood Environment Tied to Later Health Problems
An adverse childhood family environment is associated with cardiovascular disease incidence and all-cause mortality later in life.
Nearly a Fifth of Patients with Congenital Heart Disease Have Depression
Adults with congenital heart disease are more likely to have impaired functional status, biomarker profiles indicative of systemic inflammation and heart failure, and increased risk for death or cardiovascular events if they have major depression.
![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)
