Background and aims: Inflammatory bases lead to a simultaneous flourishing of cardiovascular complications with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). As a released cytokine, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) can either disrupt or preserve cardiovascular performance. Due to this controversy, this study aimed to appraise the short-term anti-TNF (adalimumab [ADA]) relics on cardiac function by gauging the echocardiography indexes in patients with immunosuppressant refractory ulcerative colitis (UC).

Methods: All cases with a definite diagnosis of UC were included based on providing written informed consent and owning the severe form of active disease (Mayo score ≥7), which did not dampen with immunosuppressant. Patients were excluded in the case of previous cardiac ailments/risk factors and prior related surgical or pharmaceutical intervention. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) was carried out before and 3 months after biological regimen allocation and changes in indexes [ejection fraction (EF), left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV)/left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV), and global longitudinal strain (GLS) in standard parasternal short axis from mid-ventricular level, two-, three-, and four-chamber apical long axes] were compared via statistical analyses.

Results: The study consisted of 13 (65%) men and 7 (35%) women, with a mean age of 36.54 ± 11.3 years. Participants mainly possessed Montreal class I (45%) and an average of 3.25 years of disease duration. The intervention significantly controlled inflammation [endoscopic Mayo score (P = 0.001), partial Mayo score (P = 0.001), and C-reactive protein (P = 0.001)]. Endoscopic and clinical remission was obtained in 7 (35%) and 9 (45%) patients, respectively; however, no significant discrepancy related to the LVEDV (P = 0.86), LVESV (P-value = 0.25), EF (P-value = 0.06), and GLS in standard parasternal short axis (P = 0.73), long axis [apical 2-chamber (P-value = 0.61), apical 3-chamber (P-value = 0.15), and apical 4-chamber (P-value = 0.19) views] was observed before and after the intervention. Furthermore, no statistically significant correlation between disease activity and cardiac function was found, neither before nor after ADA administration.

Conclusion: The present perusal found no deterioration in left ventricular function indexes with ADA intervention among patients with IBD without cardiac ailment. Thus, prescribing the anti-TNF to alleviate the inflammation can be carried out with less concern about cardiac consequences and considering other adverse traces in the target group.
