Résumé
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease primarily known for its joint involvement. However, it is a systemic disease which may potentially affect many other organs. Currently, the impact of RA on cardiovascular risk (CVR) has been demonstrated in multiple studies, both clinical and basic. The purpose of this guide is to enumerate the effects of RA on the cardiovascular system, the impact that RA treatments have on traditional cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) and to design recommendations for the monitoring and management of such processes on RA patients.
