Entheseal Doppler signals in ultrasound are associated with vasodilator drugs and age in patients with radiographic axial spondyloarthritis
The prevalence of asymptomatic entheseal ultrasound Doppler findings was overall high. The use of vasodilator drugs and higher age increased the Doppler scores. No association between disease activity and Doppler scores was found in patients with long-standing disease.
