Title: | Increased cardiovascular risk in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: an overview | Authors: | Puttevils, Daisy DE VUSSER, Philip GEUSENS, Piet DENS, Jo |
Issue Date: | 2014 | Publisher: | ACTA CARDIOLOGICA | Source: | ACTA CARDIOLOGICA, 69 (2), p. 111-118 | Abstract: | Patients with established rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have a higher cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in comparison with the general population. It is considered to be an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The purpose of this article is to describe the mechanisms responsible for accelerated atherogenesis in RA patients and to give an overview of the effects of different RA therapies (methotrexate, TNF antagonists and other biologicals). | Notes: | [Puttevils, Daisy] Leuven Univ Hosp, Dept Cardiol, B-3000 Leuven, Belgium.
