Abstract
Subclinical myocardial dysfunction is observed in IJD patients with preserved left-ventricular function and without traditional CV risk factors. Subclinical myocardial dysfunction was found to be a very early event in IJD. Disease activity was the main predictor of myocardial strain impairment. Interestingly, myocardial function was altered and associated with cIMT also in PsA patients with high disease activity.
