Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will contain selected papers presented at the 13th Annual Cardiometabolic Health Congress, which will take place 24–27 October 2018 in Boston, MA, USA. Full details about the conference can be found at: https://www.cardiometabolichealth.org/2018/boston-13th-annual.html. Only papers to be presented at the conference as poster presentations will be considered for publication in this Special Issue. As part of the submission process, it is required to state in your cover letter to the journal both the title and number of your abstract to be presented at the 13th Annual Cardiometabolic Health Congress.

The Special Issue will highlight new developments in the field of cardiometabolic health, including dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular risk reduction, weight management, hypertension, and more. As the global cardiometabolic disease epidemic grows, clinicians face a rapidly expanding and aging patient population, leaving them with an urgent need for access to evidence-based research. As an extension of the Cardiometabolic Health Congress, the largest US-based multidisciplinary conference focused solely on the prevention and management of cardiometabolic disease, this Special Issue will emphasize the complexities, challenges, and advancements in this field. It aims to give clinicians an additional platform to access articles that represent new updates in cardiometabolic health, and contributions will reflect the cross-disciplinary nature of the field.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients have nearly twice the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared to the general population. We aimed to assess, in a predominantly Black population, the prevalence of traditional and RA-specific CVD risk factors and therapeutic patterns. Utilizing ICD codes, we identified 503 RA patients ≥18 years old who were seen from 2010 to 2017. Of them, 88.5% were Black, 87.9% were women and 29.4% were smokers. CVD risk factors (obesity, diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia) were higher than in previously reported White RA cohorts. Eighty-seven percent of the patients had at least one traditional CVD risk factor, 37% had three or more traditional CVD risk factors and 58% had RA-specific risk factors (seropositive RA, >10 years of disease, joint erosions, elevated inflammatory markers, extra-articular disease, body mass index (BMI) < 20). CV outcomes (coronary artery disease/myocardial infarction, heart failure, atrial fibrillation and stroke) were comparable to published reports. Higher steroid use, which increases CVD risk, and lesser utilization of biologics (decrease CV risk) were also observed. Our Black RA cohort had higher rates of traditional CVD risk factors, in addition to chronic inflammation from aggressive RA, which places our patients at a higher risk for CVD outcomes, calling for revised risk stratification strategies and effective interventions to address comorbidities in this vulnerable population.
