Greyscale, colour Doppler and oscillometric macroangiopathy indices in patients with autoinflammatory syndromes: the INFLAMMACARD cohort

In the first CV surrogate marker study in AIS combining oscillometry and arterial US, patients exhibited increased carotid pulsatility and altered flow dynamics vs controls. Aortic stiffness was lower in patients receiving biologics and mainly predicted by traditional CV factors and lymphadenopathy. Angiopathy markers may reveal significant vascular abnormalities in AIS patients, improving CV screening and risk classification.
