Possible misclassification of cardiovascular risk by SCORE in antisynthetase syndrome: results of the pilot multicenter study RI.CAR.D.A

Abstract

ASyS patients had higher aortic stiffness and SCA compared with controls, even after adjustment for confounders. SCORE/mSCORE performed poorly in identifying high-risk patients compared with cfPWV and carotid sonography. Thus, cfPWV and carotid sonography may improve CV and cerebrovascular screening in ASyS.
