Cardiovascular Risk in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Diseases-The Role of Endothelial Dysfunction.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Cardiovascular pathology in people with IBD has not been well studied to date, and a direct link between cardiovascular events and IBD has not been established. The mechanisms underlying this association include the parallel and dynamic interaction of inflammation, modulation of the composition of the gut microbiota, endothelial dysfunction, thrombogenicity, and increased endothelial and epithelial permeability.
