The results of the latest study will allow progress to be made in the design of specific strategies for the management of cardiovascular risk according to sex.
The ‘Immunopathology’ group of the Marqués de Valdecilla Health Research Institute (IDIVAL) coordinates a multicenter study with a dozen Spanish hospitals to investigate cardiovascular risk in patients with axial spondyloarthritis, a disease characterized by inflammation of the sacroiliac joints and the spine with severe pain, stiffness and fatigue.
The results of the latest study describe for the first time the differences associated with sex in the cardiovascular profile, specifically in atherosclerosis, known as “hardening of the arteries”, which can completely obstruct vessels with the formation of plaques inside them.
An in-depth understanding of axial spondyloarthritis and its cardiovascular profile is the first step towards establishing specific strategies for managing cardiovascular risk according to sex, as well as delving into ailments such as chronic inflammatory arthropathies in which there is destruction of a joint as a result of inflammation.
The authors confirmed that disease-specific factors such as inflammatory burden and functional and mobility limitations are associated with atherosclerosis in both men and women.
However, the interaction between inflammation, classical risk factors and atherosclerosis is closer in the case of women.
The results were obtained after analyzing data on the disease itself, classical risk factors and subclinical atherosclerosis obtained by carotid ultrasound in 611 men and 301 women from the AtheSpAin cohort.
The authors aim to further explore this field and studies are already underway to analyze the impact that inflammation may have on various parameters of cardiovascular risk according to the sex of the patients.

Francisco Sánchez Madrid, member of IDIVAL’s External Council and Head of the Immunology Service of the Hospital Universitario de La Princesa has received the Robert Koch Award 2023. The immunologist and professor at Harvard University in Boston, Timothy Springer, has also been awarded this prize for their important joint research in Immunology.
Both were pioneers in discovering the relevance of cell adhesion molecules in immune cell function. This important finding has opened up new possibilities for the treatment of immune diseases using monoclonal antibodies.
The Robert Koch Prize is endowed with 120,000 euros, is considered one of the most important scientific prizes in Germany, and is awarded annually by the Robert Koch Foundation and the German Ministry of Health.
The Robert Koch Award ceremony will take place on November 17, 2023 in the city of Berlin. Francisco Sánchez Madrid and Timothy Springer will receive the award from the Nobel Laureate in Medicine, Professor Jules Hoffmann.
Alongside Professors Francisco Sánchez Madrid and Timothy Springer, Professor Patrice Courvalin, one of the world’s most renowned researchers in the field of antibiotic resistance, will receive the Robert Koch Gold Medal.
Francisco Sánchez Madrid
He is head of the Immunology Service of the Hospital Universitario de La Princesa, director of the Instituto de Investigación Sanitaria IIS Princesa, Professor of Immunology at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid and member of the IDIVAL External Council that provides scientific advice to the Institute and is composed of people in the field of health sciences of recognized prestige in the scientific community. In addition, Professor Francisco Sánchez Madrid is also currently the director of the Intercellular Communication in the Inflammatory Response group at the National Center for Cardiovascular Research (CNIC).
Dr. Sánchez obtained his PhD from the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid in 1980. After his doctoral thesis, he moved to the Department of Pathology at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts. It was then that, together with Professor Timothy Springer, they identified the integrins that control the adhesion and activation of leukocytes and thus made a decisive contribution to the development of therapies for inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis and Crohn’s disease.
Their subsequent research has made a decisive contribution to understanding the function of immune synapses, i.e. the structures by which immune cells communicate with each other or with other cells. This work is instrumental in unraveling the immune system and its role in the immune response in health and disease.
