Predicting heart rhythm problems in rheumatoid arthritis patients
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis
- You do not have other autoimmune diseases
- You do not have thyroid problems, electrolyte imbalances (like low potassium or magnesium), or known heart conditions
- You are not taking medications that affect heart rhythm (like amiodarone or other antiarrhythmic drugs)

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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.
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.
This trial tests whether artificial intelligence (AI) can improve how doctors spot complications in people newly diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a condition that causes joint pain and swelling. The goal is to see if AI can make diagnosis faster and more accurate in real-world hospital settings.
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.
