Article Synopsis
  • Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease affecting a small percentage of adults globally, and this study aimed to compare the carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), an indicator of atherosclerosis, in RA patients versus healthy individuals.
  • The study involved 62 participants, with half having RA, and found that RA patients had significantly greater CIMT values compared to healthy controls, indicating more advanced stages of potential cardiovascular issues.
  • The results suggest that CIMT can serve as a valuable tool for early detection of atherosclerosis and predicting cardiovascular risks in individuals with RA, highlighting the importance of monitoring this condition.

Idiopathic pulmonary artery aneurysm is a rare condition. This type of aneurysm can be presented with noncardiac symptoms or even asymptomatic. We report a 73-year-old man with a gigantic idiopathic pulmonary artery aneurysm which was referred to our unit for his kidney problems.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Sahar Sadat Moosavi"

  • - Sahar Sadat Moosavi's recent research primarily focuses on the cardiovascular implications of chronic inflammatory diseases, particularly exploring the relationship between rheumatoid arthritis and subclinical atherosclerosis through the measurement of carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT).
  • - In a 2023 study, Moosavi conducted a case-control analysis revealing significant findings about the CIMT in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, contributing to the understanding of cardiovascular risks in this population.
  • - Another area of interest includes rare vascular conditions, demonstrated by a case report from 2014 detailing a gigantic idiopathic pulmonary artery aneurysm, emphasizing the importance of recognizing such anomalies even in patients presenting with noncardiac symptoms.
