Exercise Capacity, Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Disease-related Variables in Axial Spondyloarthritis

76 participantsStarted 2014-05-15

Plain-language summary

The investigators aimed to study the associations between exercise capacity and cardiovascular (CV) risk factors in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) patients and to determine possible relationships with disease-related variables. Thirty eight patients and 38 controls were recruited in our cross-sectional controlled study. Comprehensive systemic and musculoskeletal examinations were carried out in both of the groups. Cardiovascular risk profile data, ASDAS-CRP, 10-year CV event risk, physical activity levels (IPAQ) were recorded. A maximal treadmill exercise test by Bruce protocol was administered to all participants.
