Five-year changes in cardiac structure and function in patients with rheumatoid arthritis compared with the general population.

Abstract：

BACKGROUND:Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have increased risk of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. The development and progression of left ventricular dysfunction before onset of clinical heart failure are unknown. The objective of this study was to evaluate longitudinal changes in cardiac structure and function of patients with RA compared with persons in the general population. METHODS:A prospective longitudinal study of a population-based cohort of 160 patients with RA and a population-based cohort of 1391 persons without RA (non-RA cohort) was performed. Each participant underwent 2-dimensional, pulsed-wave tissue Doppler echocardiography at baseline and after 4 to 5years of follow-up. Age- and sex-adjusted linear regression models were used to test for differences between the RA and non-RA cohorts in annualized rates of change for echocardiographic parameters. RESULTS:Mitral A velocity increased more rapidly among the patients with RA than the non-RA cohort (age- and sex-adjusted parameter estimate, 0.030; P<0.001). Correspondingly, the mean mitral inflow E/A ratio decreased faster in the RA cohort than the non-RA cohort (adjusted parameter estimate, -0.096; P<0.001). The left atrial volume index increased at a higher rate in the RA cohort than the non-RA cohort (adjusted parameter estimate, 0.150; P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS:This pattern of echocardiographic findings confirms previous cross-sectional studies and indicates that subclinical changes in diastolic function occur more rapidly over 5years in RA patients than in the general population. Further research into the mechanisms of myocardial disease in these patients and the relationship with disease activity and treatment is warranted.
