This book is a practical and up-to-date review that discusses the impact
of traditional cardiovascular risk factors in patients with rheumatoid
arthritis, the effect of rheumatoid arthritis disease activity and
severity on cardiovascular comorbidity, and the influence of rheumatoid
arthritis drug therapy on cardiovascular risk. This title also explores
cardiovascular disease as a manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis and
highlights the available methods for screening and diagnosing these
conditions. Current and emerging therapies to aid clinicians in the
daily management of their patients are also featured in this title. Busy
healthcare professionals who are looking for a collaborative approach to
these conditions will benefit from this comprehensive overview.
