Abstract
Patients suffering from rheumatic diseases are at high risk of the development and accelerated progression of cardiovascular due to inflammation as one of the etiological factors of atherogenesis and heart failure. To choose the rational and safe treatment, especially in comorbid patients, it is necessary to have a comprehensive and complete understanding of the mechanisms of these relationships, as well as the most accurate determination of cardiovascular risk using modern validated scales. The first part of the review presents the results of current experimental and clinical studies on the effect of the chronic inflammatory and its biomarkers on the development, course and prognosis of cardiovascular diseases.
