Authors
Objective. Spondyloarthritis is a family of inflammatory diseases subdivided into those affecting the spine, called axial spondyloarthritis, and those involving peripheral joints, such as psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Several studies have reported differences in clinical manifestations, outcomes, and treatment responses between male and female PsA patients. The aim of our review was to evaluate if differences may also be identified in the context of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors and diseases.
Methods. Patients with PsA have a higher CV risk than the general population. The increased CV risk associated with PsA is likely caused by the complex interplay of traditional CV risk factors, chronic systemic inflammation, and side effects related to the use of certain anti-rheumatic drugs.
Results. Sex differences in CV risk factors in PsA patients, according to several studies, are controversial. However, the few studies that reported sex-stratified estimates did not find differences in the risk of stroke and myocardial infarction between sexes. The same also holds true for CV mortality. These mixed results may be related to the different study designs and case definitions, as well as genetic and geographical variability across the investigated populations.
Conclusions. In conclusion, our review suggests that the evaluation of sex-gender aspects of CV comorbidities in PsA should be a central step in the context of personalized medicine in order to prevent and treat properly associated comorbidities.
