- Authors
Kremers, Hilal Maradit; Crowson, Cynthia S.; Gabriel, Sherine E.
- Abstract
In this article, the authors provide a brief overview of the spectrum of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The authors focus on the role of traditional cardiovascular risk factors in the development of CVD in this population. They address whether RA patients are more or less likely to experience individual cardiovascular risk factors, their association with CVD, and their contribution to cardiovascular risk prediction in RA patients.
