Abstract

Background:  Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disorder, characterised by both articular and 
extra - articular manifestations. The chronic subclinical inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis contributes to accelerated atherosclerosis and various cardiovascular events. In a study, if the clinical disease activity index score falls by 10, the risk of developing cardiovascular disease decreases by 26% has been formulated. So it is necessary to do screening for cardiovascular disease in all Rheumatoid arthritis patients.
