Abstract
Patients with PAPS and SLE/APS have a nearly 2.5-fold risk of atherosclerotic plaques in carotid and femoral arteries compared to healthy controls, similar to DM patients. Atherosclerotic plaques are associated with the number of traditional risk factors in both APS and SLE/APS, and with IgG anti-beta2-glycoprotein I antibodies in SLE/APS.
