Özet

Objective. In recent years, accelerated atherosclerosis and increased risk of cardiovascular events have been described in patients with rheumatic disease, particularly for rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus. However, the link between inflammation, atherosclerosis and ankylosing spondylitis is controversial. We evaluated the degree of atherosclerosis and endothelial function of ankylosing spondylitis patients ultrasonographically.
