Why Arthritis Patients Suffer Heart Attack and How to Prevent It

It’s a well known fact that arthritis sufferers are more likely to have heart attacks and other varieties of cardiovascular disease.

In fact, studies have revealed that arthritis sufferers were 60% more likely to suffer heart attack and 50% more likely to die from cardiovascular disease than the general public.

But why this happens has been somewhat of a mystery.

Now, however, two new studies presented at the November 2016 conference of the American College of Rheumatology in Washington, D.C. have revealed the mechanism that causes heart attack in people with arthritis and a possible solution to it.

University of Colombia researchers performed positron emission tomography (PET) and three-dimensional echocardiography on 118 people suffering from arthritis and 113 healthy individuals to examine the structure, volume, and functioning of their hearts.

While they did not find structural differences, they did notice that their arthritic subjects had a lot of inflammation inside their hearts, especially of the walls of their hearts’ ventricles.

On average, the arthritic subjects had 12 percent higher heart inflammation than the non-arthritic subjects, a number that jumped to 30 percent when those with mild arthritis were excluded.

In other words, those with moderate or severe arthritis had 30% more heart inflammation than those without arthritis.

This inflammation, cause with time structural changes in hearts that prevents them from functioning properly.

On the upside, their second study found that those who treated their arthritis had much lower heart inflammation than those who did not treat it or treated it insufficiently.
