Résumé

Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors and sphingosine 1 phosphate (S1P) receptor modulators are small molecule drugs (SMDs) approved for IBD treatment. Their use in clinical practice might be limited due to cardiovascular concerns. We aimed to provide guidance on risk assessment, monitoring, and management strategies, aiming to minimize potential cardiovascular risks of SMDs and to facilitate an adequate shared decision-making. A systematic literature search was conducted, and proposed statements were prepared. A virtual consensus meeting was held, in which eleven IBD physicians and two cardiovascular specialists from ten countries attended. Proposed statements were voted upon in an anonymous manner. Agreement was defined as at least 75 % of participants voting as 'agree' with each statement. Consensus was reached for eighteen statements. Available evidence does not show a higher risk of cardiovascular events with JAK inhibitors in the overall IBD population, although it might be increased in patients with an unfavorable cardiovascular profile. S1P receptor modulators may be associated with a risk of bradycardia, atrioventricular blocks, and hypertension. Cardiovascular risk stratification should be done before initiation of SMDs. Although the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with IBD on SMDs appears to be low overall, caution should still be taken in certain scenarios.
