Zusammenfassung

Chronische Entzündung ist ein unabhängiger Risikofaktor für kardiovaskuläre Komplikationen bei rheumatischen Erkrankungen. Die erhöhte Mortalität kann durch eine effektive Krankheitskontrolle reduziert werden. Ernährungsmedizinische Ansätze zielen auf die Prävention und Therapie traditioneller kardiovaskulärer Risikofaktoren wie arterielle Hypertonie, Adipositas oder Hyperlipoproteinämie, können aber auch unmittelbar zur Senkung der Entzündungsaktivität beitragen.

Abstract

Chronic inflammation is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular comorbidity in rheumatic diseases. Effective disease-modifying drugs reduce this increased mortality. The targets of nutritional interventions are not only the traditional risk factors such as hypertension, obesity or hyperlipoproteinemia but also to achieve a reduction of the inflammation.
