Abstract:
:Chronic inflammation starting early in life and continuing into adulthood may predispose children with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) to cardiovascular (CV) complications. To compare non-invasive CV risk markers- left ventricular mass index (LVMi), brachial artery flow mediated dilatation (FMD) and carotid artery intima-media thickness (CIMT) between patients with JIA and healthy controls. Measurements of LVMi, CIMT and FMD and lipid profile were compared between 4 and 18 year old 81 patients with JIA and 78 age and sex matched healthy controls. Among 81, 20 had systemic onset, 19 enthesitis related arthritis, 9 polyarticular rheumatoid factor (RF) + ve, 19 polyarticular RF -ve, 11 oligo-articular, and 3 un-differentiated JIA. FMD was significantly lower (p < 0.001), CIMT and LVMi significantly higher in patients (p ≤ 0.001). CIMT showed positive correlation with blood pressure (p = 0.001), disease duration (p ≤ 0.001) and negative correlation with high density lipoprotein (HDL) (p ≤ 0.001). FMD correlated positively with HDL (p = 0.006) and negatively with disease duration (p ≤ 0.001). CIMT (p = 0.017) and FMD (p = 0.04) were significantly worse in active than inactive disease. Children with JIA have worse lipid profile, increased LVMi, CIMT, and reduced brachial artery FMD, suggestive of early cardiovascular dysfunction.
