Prevalence and associated factors of subclinical atherosclerosis in rheumatoid arthritis at the university hospital of Kinshasa

201915 citationsOpen accessUniversité de Kinshasa (UNIKIN)

Abstract

Subclinical atherosclerosis is common in RA patients attending the UHK. It appears to be associated with RA disease activity and severity apart from traditional cardiovascular risk factors. These results suggest that early management of subclinical atherosclerosis targeting remaining RA disease activity and cardiovascular risk factors could slow down progression to clinical cardiovascular disease.
