Cardiovascular risk in autoimmune disorders: Role of asymmetric dimethylarginine
چکیده انگلیسی

Mounting evidence indicates that cardiovascular events are a main cause of excessive mortality of autoimmune disorders like type I diabetes mellitus and rheumatic diseases. Inflammation and endothelial dysfunction, independent predictors to cardiovascular disease, are hallmarks of autoimmunity. Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), an endogenous nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, can cause or contribute to the inflammatory syndrome and endothelial dysfunction. Recently, elevated ADMA levels have been demonstrated in many autoimmune diseases, suggesting that ADMA might play an important role for the associated manifestations of cardiovascular disease. In the review, we discuss the role of ADMA in the excessive cardiovascular morbidity and mortality associated with autoimmune diseases.
