title: [Inflammation and arterial hypertension in rheumatic diseases].
abstract: The development of atherosclerosis, arterial hypertension, and chronic heart failure associated with autoimmune processes is underlain not only by classical risk factors but also by immuno-inflammatory pathogenetic mechanisms of these conditions. There are reports suggesting correlation between activity of rheumatic diseases, the character and progression of arterial hypertension, elevated blood levels of C-reactive protein and certain cytokines, e.g TNO-alpha. The present review discusses the currently available data on the relationship between AH and immune-mediated inflammation in patients with rheumatic diseases.
