Vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), flow mediated dilatation (FMD) and carotid intima media thickness (IMT) in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis: Relation to disease activity, functional status and fatigue

ConclusionJIA patients had impaired endothelial function and increased cIMT with increased sVCAM-1, impaired lipid profile, decreased physical activity and increased fatigue with a potentially higher cardiovascular risk in this pediatric population.
