Abstract

Numerous epidemiological studies link bone loss with vascular calcification and cardiovascular disease. Osteoporosis and atherosclerosis share risk factors and are likely to share pathogenic mechanisms as well. On the other hand, drugs used in the treatment of osteoporosis could influence cardiovascular risk, just as those used in cardiovascular disease could affect bone mineral density and the development of fractures.

Keywords:
Atherosclerosis
Vascular calcification
Osteoporosis
Resumen

Numerosos estudios epidemiológicos relacionan la pérdida de masa ósea con la calcificación vascular y la enfermedad cardiovascular. La osteoporosis y la arterioesclerosis comparten factores de riesgo y es probable que también compartan mecanismos patogénicos. Por otra parte, fármacos utilizados en el tratamiento de la osteoporosis podrían influir en el riesgo cardiovascular, así como los empleados en la enfermedad cardiovascular podrían afectar a la densidad mineral ósea y al desarrollo de fracturas.

Palabras clave:
