Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have a higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD).
A study published in BMC Rheumatology concluded that circulating Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) could serve as a potential predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and coronary artery disease (CAD) in Rheumatoid arthritis. Individuals with active disease for at least two years following RA diagnosis, as well as those with cumulative disease activity, are at a higher risk for CVD and CAD, regardless of traditional CVD risk factors.
