MULTISPIRAL COMPUTER TOMOGRAPHY IN CORONARY ARTERY ATHEROSCLEROSIS DIAGNOSIS IN PATIENTS WITH RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS
Abstract
A link between the coronary calcium and coronary stenosis revealed by multispiral computer tomography in patients with rheumatoid arthritis was studied. Coronary artery calcium indicates the prevalence and severity of coronary atherosclerotic lesions. Traditional cardiovascular risk factors and systemic inflammatory activity should be considered in cardiovascular risk stratification in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
