Heart function and rheumatoid arthritis activity
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at how well the left side of the heart works (using ultrasound) in people with rheumatoid arthritis. It aims to see if certain heart measurements can predict how active the arthritis is.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study uses a special heart CT scan to look for early signs of heart disease in people with rheumatoid arthritis. It may help find problems before symptoms start.
This trial looks at cardiovascular risk factors in people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), comparing those who test positive or negative for certain blood markers. It aims to understand how heart health may differ between these groups.
This study looks at whether calcium in the heart arteries and a blood test (troponin) can help predict heart disease risk in people with rheumatoid arthritis. It may help doctors better prevent heart attacks and strokes.
This study is looking at early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and heart health. It compares people newly diagnosed with RA (within the last 6 months) to healthy people of similar age and sex. The goal is to see if there are early signs of hardening of the arteries in people with RA.
This study looks at what makes people with rheumatoid arthritis more likely to develop an irregular heartbeat. It may help doctors identify who is at higher risk and potentially prevent serious heart problems in the future.
This study tests whether using ultrasound to look at arteries in the neck can help prevent heart attacks and strokes in people with inflammatory joint diseases like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus. Researchers will use the results to guide treatment decisions.
