Risk Factors Associated with Different Stages of Atherosclerosis in Colombian Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with an increased prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Since atherosclerosis development is a gradual process of damage inside the artery wall, and the phenotype–genotype correlation of complex diseases may vary depending on ethnicity, we sought to inve...
