Uploaded and Shared in Youtube by: LupusFoundation Several studies have confirmed that patients with systemic lupus have a 5-8-fold increase risk of coronary heart disease-related events (heart attacks and strokes) compared to the general population, especially among women with lupus who are younger than age 50. In this short video, Dr. Naveed Sattar, Professor in Metabolic Medicine at University of Glasgow / Honorary Consultant in Clinical Biochemistry, Glasgow Royal Infirmary, in the United Kingdom, provides some insight as to why people with lupus are at greater risk for cardiovascular disease. Dr. Sattar moderated a session at the 2009 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Annual Scientific Meeting on this topic. The LFA also has posted six videos highlighting some of the other important lupus studies presented at the ACR meeting
