Researchers analyzed factors associated with cardiovascular events in 702 patients with Takayasu arteritis (TAK). Key risk factors included older age at diagnosis, diagnostic delay, pulselessness, pulmonary hypertension, aortic regurgitation, and elevated ESR. A prediction model was developed with good performance and calibration. TAK patients have a high cardiovascular event risk, and these factors are crucial for risk stratification.
