New biomarker for atherosclerosis, cardiovascular risk and disease activity in axSpA? Low Irisin associated with subclinical atherosclerosis, high CV risk and more severe disease activity in axSpA @RheumNow #EULAR2022 ABST#POS0327

Sex differences in axSpA: we’re continuing to better understand the differences in imaging findings. Existing MRI scoring may underserve axSpA in women. Added to therapy differences, a lot to readdress for our female axSpA patients. from roundup #EULAR2022 @RheumNow https://t.co/8wCKx9AFcM
