Vascular effects of achieving low disease activity in axial spondyloarthritis – A 2-year prospective treat-to-target study

Key Points

• To assess the relationship between low disease activity and vascular effects in axial spondyloarthritis patients.
• Conducted a 2-year prospective treat-to-target study
• Monitored disease activity and inflammation levels
• Evaluated progression of subclinical atherosclerosis
• Patients achieving low disease activity showed reduced progression of subclinical atherosclerosis
• Lower inflammation levels correlated with improved vascular health
