Description
Eva Karaskova and colleagues review heart risk in inflammatory bowel disease in a 2026 article. Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are now seen as body-wide illnesses whose vessel risk runs above what standard factors explain, above all in younger patients and during gut flares. The authors gather the shared mechanisms.
Chronic inflammation harms vessel linings, speeds clotting, and feeds plaque growth, aided by a leaky gut barrier, shifted microbes, and troubled belly fat. Lipids mislead in this setting: blood levels can look low while risk stays high, because inflammation warps lipoprotein quality, a pattern dubbed the lipid paradox. Tight control of bowel activity and care with steroids anchor the prevention advice.
