Atherosclerosis in Rheumatoid Arthritis [PDF]

open access: yesMediators of Inflammation, 2012
There is a growing body of evidence supporting an increased risk of cardiovascular (CV) mortality in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This is the result of complex mechanisms leading to accelerated atherosclerosis [1]. In this regard, besides classic CV risk factors [2], chronic inflammation [3] and a genetic component [3, 4] have been proposed
