Changes in proportionate cardiovascular mortality in patients with chronic infectious and inflammatory conditions in the United States, 1999-2018.

ABSTRACT: Treatment options for several chronic infectious and inflammatory conditions have expanded in recent years. This may have implications for evolving competing risks for chronic inflammation-associated comorbidities, including cardiovascular diseases (CVDs).
