| Abstract: | Introduction Disease activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality,
of which N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is a predictor. Our objective was to examine the cross-sectional
and longitudinal associations between markers of inflammation, measures of RA disease activity, medication used in the treatment
of RA, and NT-proBNP levels (dependent variable). |
