Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) influence cardiovascular risk through their effects on inflammation, lipid metabolism, and endothelial function. Methotrexate has demonstrated cardioprotective properties, likely mediated through anti-inflammatory mechanisms rather than direct metabolic effects. However, other conventional DMARDs, such as sulfasalazine and hydroxychloroquine, also continue to play a role in routine practice; their cardiovascular effects appear more heterogeneous and less well established. Biologic DMARDs, particularly tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors, are associated with a reduction in major cardiovascular events despite inducing lipid profile alterations. However, data on newer biologic agents, such as interleukin (IL)-17 and IL-23 inhibitors, remain limited. Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors present concerns regarding dyslipidemia and thrombotic risk, necessitating individualized cardiovascular risk assessment. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) remain controversial due to their potential to exacerbate cardiovascular risk, particularly with long-term use. Given the variability in drug effects, treatment strategies must balance effective disease control with cardiovascular safety. This narrative review summarizes current evidence on the impact of both conventional and biologic DMARDs on cardiovascular risk, drawing from randomized clinical trials and real-world observational data.

Pearson's correlation and multiple linear regression analyses were performed to assess the associations between recovery BP and vascular parameters.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Among total participants, 4-min recovery SBP was independently associated with FMD, whereas resting BP showed no such association. CAVI was not correlated with any recovery BP. In non-hypertensive individuals, 4-min recovery SBP remained independently associated with FMD, whereas age and resting SBP were linked to CAVI.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>These findings suggest that recovery SBP following SME reflects early endothelial dysfunction and vascular impairment. Therefore, using recovery SBP after the SME demonstrates the potential to be a tool for the early detection of vascular risk in middle-aged adults.</p>","PeriodicalId":23597,"journal":{"name":"Vascular Health and Risk Management","volume":"21 ","pages":"581-592"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12323865/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144790164","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
