Abstract:
:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with a shortened life expectancy. Most premature deaths are caused by cardiovascular (CV) events; therefore it is of importance to consider the increased CV risk when treating RA patients. Traditional CV risk factors cannot fully explain the increased risk but the common understanding is that inflammation significantly contributes to the excess risk observed. Without the use of correction factors commonly used risk calculators underestimate the true CV risk in RA patients. Methotrexate and TNF inhibitors appear to be beneficial with regard to the CV risk. To date there are only few recommendations for interventions in the CV system of RA patients which go beyond those formulated for the general population. The present manuscript summarizes the published evidence concerning the increased CV risk in RA patients.
