  • The transition of HIV and AIDS from a death sentence to a chronic disease has not come without problems. Rheumatologists need to be aware of the full spectrum of rheumatic diseases seen in patients with HIV and AIDS, and know the best strategies for disease management.

  • Patients with systemic sclerosis have a better prognosis now than they did 30 years ago, and the frequency of renal-crisis-related death has decreased markedly. As a result, there is an increasing burden of cardiovascular disease in these patients. In this article, the authors describe the techniques that can be used to assess vascular damage, and outline the requirements of future research in this area.

  • The tremendous improvements in the survival of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in the past several decades have led to increased prevalence of lupus-related organ damage in these patients, which has slowed down the survival improvement and reduced the quality of life of patients. Anselm Mak and colleagues discuss the global pattern, potential mechanisms and advances in tools for early detection of organ damage.

  • An individual's risk of developing cardiovascular disease is somewhat dependent on their ethnic origin, and is increased by the presence of inflammatory rheumatic disease. However, little is known about the relative contributions of ethnicity and rheumatic disease activity to a patient's overall risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. This Review explores known risk factors for, surrogate markers of, and the epidemiology of heart disease in Asian and non-Asian patients with rheumatic diseases.
