Applying EASIX in Osteoarthritis. The Link between Inflammation and Cardiovascular Risk

Osteoarthritis (OA), long regarded as a mechanical wear-and-tear disease of the joints, is increasingly being reinterpreted in light of evidence identifying it as a chronic low-grade inflammatory disease. This shift is more than semantic; it fundamentally reshapes how we assess the systemic risks faced by these patients, particularly their cardiovascular risk (CVR). Given the growing recognition of endothelial dysfunction as a key manifestation of the inflammatory process involved in vascular event development, the pursuit of tools capable of detecting indicators [...]
