Daily movement and artery health in rheumatoid arthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at how daily movement patterns (like sitting, standing, and walking) relate to the buildup of plaque in arteries (atherosclerosis) in people with rheumatoid arthritis. It aims to understand if certain activity levels can lower heart risks.

This study looks at people with very early rheumatoid arthritis to see if a simple blood test and an ultrasound of the neck can show early signs of heart artery damage. The goal is to catch heart disease risk sooner in RA patients.
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 looks at how rheumatoid arthritis affects daily activities and quality of life. By understanding disability levels, researchers hope to improve care and support for patients.
This study follows different groups of people—from those at high risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis to those recently diagnosed—to learn more about the disease. By joining, you help researchers understand who gets RA and why, which may lead to earlier detection and better care.
Researchers want to see if rheumatoid arthritis increases the risk of irregular heartbeats. If you have RA, you might be able to join to help doctors better understand how to prevent heart problems in the future.
This study looks at how oxidative stress (an imbalance of harmful molecules in the body) relates to cardiovascular risk in people with rheumatoid arthritis. It aims to see if these factors are linked, which could help in better managing heart health for RA patients.
