University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand
Brief Summary

The goal of this cross-sectional case control study is to investigate the cardiovascular risk in digital osteoarthritis. This study aims to compare the cardiovascular risk between group of patients with digital osteoarthritis and control group of patients with non-osteoarthritis disease paired by measurement of carotid intima-media thickness. All participants will undergo an ultrasound scan to measure carotid intima media thickness, a clinical assessment with the rheumatologist and a cardiovascular risk assessment.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Measurement of carotid intima-media thickness20 minutes

EIM is a non-invasive ultrasound technique in which an ultrasound-generating probe is conventionally placed opposite the right primitive carotid artery. By distinguishing between an inner layer, consisting of the intima and media, and the outer layer, the adventitia, the intima-media thickness can be assessed.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Identify endothelial dysfunction in coronary arteries by reactive hyperemia index score15 minutes

The EndoPAT™ 2000 device (Itamar medical) is an examination to detect endothelial dysfunction in coronary arteries using reactive hyperemia: Normal EndoScore™: RHI \> 1.67; Abnormal EndoScore™: RHI ≤ 1.67 .

Measurement of bone mineral density and body mass composition by DXA15 minutes

Two-photon X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is a method commonly used to measure bone density. The examination distinguishes between 3 measurements: mineral mass, lean mass and fat mass.

Cardiovascular risk assessment by SCORE scale10 minutes

The SCORE scale measures the percent risk of a fatal cardiovascular event at 10 years due to arteriosclerosis.

Physical performance assessment by measuring the distance covered in metres in 6 minutes over a 30-metre course6 minutes

Patients walk in a rhythmic sequence for 6 minutes on a 30-metre distance,this assesses the muscular strength of the lower limbs and enables you to judge your physical level
