Duration of psoriatic arthritis as a risk factor for myocardial infarction.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The aim was to examine the association between disease duration and risk of myocardial infarction (MI) in patients with PsA.

Methods

We used nationwide registry data from Denmark to estimate incidence rates per 1000 person-years and the risk of MI [adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% CIs] in rheumatologist-diagnosed patients with PsA using Cox regression models. The study period was between 1 January 2008 and 31 December 2012.

Results

The study population comprised a total of 8071 patients with PsA and 4 348 857 general population control subjects. A total of 156 and 54 215 MIs occurred during follow-up among patients with PsA and the reference population, respectively. There was a significant association between the duration of PsA and risk of MI (adjusted HR = 1.02; 95% CI: 1.01, 1.03 for each additional year after PsA diagnosis). Stratified based on short (<2 years) and long (≥2 years) disease duration, the adjusted HRs were 0.96 (95% CI: 0.60, 1.52; P = 0.8487) and 1.29 (95% CI: 1.09, 1.53; P = 0.0026), respectively. Other significant predictors included age, sex, socio-economic status, smoking, alcohol abuse, diabetes, hypertension and previous cardiovascular disease.

Conclusions

We observed an increased risk of MI associated with longer duration of PsA. Our findings call for increased focus on disease duration in the cardiovascular risk assessment among patients with PsA.

Project description:BackgroundObservational studies suggest associations between extremes of sleep duration and myocardial infarction (MI), but the causal contribution of sleep to MI and its potential to mitigate genetic predisposition to coronary disease is unclear.ObjectivesThis study sought to investigate associations between sleep duration and incident MI, accounting for joint effects with other sleep traits and genetic risk of coronary artery disease, and to assess causality using Mendelian randomization (MR).MethodsIn 461,347 UK Biobank (UKB) participants free of relevant cardiovascular disease, the authors estimated multivariable adjusted hazard ratios (HR) for MI (5,128 incident cases) across habitual self-reported short (<6 h) and long (>9 h) sleep duration, and examined joint effects with sleep disturbance traits and a coronary artery disease genetic risk score. The authors conducted 2-sample MR for short (24 single nucleotide polymorphisms) and continuous (71 single nucleotide polymorphisms) sleep duration with MI (n = 43,676 cases/128,199 controls), and replicated results in UKB (n = 12,111/325,421).ResultsCompared with sleeping 6 to 9 h/night, short sleepers had a 20% higher multivariable-adjusted risk of incident MI (HR: 1.20; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.07 to 1.33), and long sleepers had a 34% higher risk (HR: 1.34; 95% CI: 1.13 to 1.58); associations were independent of other sleep traits. Healthy sleep duration mitigated MI risk even among individuals with high genetic liability (HR: 0.82; 95% CI: 0.68 to 0.998). MR was consistent with a causal effect of short sleep duration on MI in CARDIoGRAMplusC4D (Coronary ARtery DIsease Genome wide Replication and Meta-analysis plus Coronary Artery Disease Genetics Consortium) (HR: 1.19; 95% CI: 1.09 to 1.29) and UKB (HR: 1.21; 95% CI: 1.08 to 1.37).ConclusionsProspective observational and MR analyses support short sleep duration as a potentially causal risk factor for MI. Investigation of sleep extension to prevent MI may be warranted.
