Thromboelastography Maximum Amplitude Is a Valuable Biomarker for Early Atherosclerosis in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients: A Single‐Center Cross‐Sectional Study

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hypercoagulability contributes to atherosclerosis (AS) progression in individuals suffering from rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and thromboelastography (TEG) is a valuable diagnostic tool. This hospital‐based cross‐sectional study assessed the clinical efficacy of TEG parameters in detecting hypercoagulability and subclinical AS by purposively ...
