Brief Summary: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease primarily affecting the peripheral joints, yet its extra-articular burden particularly on the cardiovascular (CV) system has emerged as its most consequential long-term complication . Cardiovascular disease (CVD) accounts for 40% of all deaths in RA patients, making it the leading cause of mortality .This excess CV risk is estimated to be 1.5 to 2 times higher than in the general population .The overall CV risk co...
