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 studies lung scans (HRCT) from patients with rheumatoid arthritis, interstitial lung disease, or connective tissue disease to better understand lung involvement. If you have one of these conditions and have had a lung CT, you may be able to help.
This study tests if a lung ultrasound can detect early signs of lung disease in people with rheumatoid arthritis. It may help you if you have certain risk factors, like being male, older, or a smoker.
This study looks at lung health in people with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It may help doctors understand how RA affects the lungs soon after diagnosis and guide better care.
This study looks for early lung scarring in people who have rheumatoid arthritis. It may help find a serious lung condition earlier so doctors can watch or treat it sooner.
This study looks for new markers in the blood or breath that could help doctors find and track lung disease in people with rheumatoid arthritis. If you have RA and are over 18, this could help us better understand how lung problems start and how to catch them early.
