🚨 Hot off the press – our new review on chronic inflammation and cardiovascular risk is out in International Journal of Molecular Sciences MDPI

🔬 Chronic inflammatory diseases (like IBD, RA, and SLE) significantly increase the risk of cardiovascular events, yet remain underrepresented in CV research and poorly served by standard risk scores

🧠 In this paper, we:
✅ Explore the pathophysiological mechanisms linking inflammation, immune dysregulation, and atherosclerosis
✅ Summarize clinical trial data on anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory therapies
✅ Highlight gaps in risk stratification
✅ Discuss emerging tools: lipidomics, proteomics, microbiota profiling, advanced imaging, and AI-based risk models

💡 Our call to action: it’s time for a multidisciplinary, proactive approach to cardiovascular prevention in these high-risk populations

1/3 In recent years, I've spoken at lectures, webinars, and both national and international congresses, but I've never felt as moved as I did today. Thank you to Waleed, Faazil and all the members of #MRO for inviting me once again to kick off their academic year.
