In these patients, having rheumatoid arthritis was associated with about a threefold increase in risk for both conditions. Nonetheless, the researchers also add that the absolute differences in rates of atrial fibrillation and stroke between people with and without rheumatoid arthritis were highest in the oldest patients.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers conclude that rheumatoid arthritis patients should be screened for cardiovascular risk factors, including the screening for atrial fibrillation. They also suggest that inflammation control is important for rheumatoid arthritis patients, not only to manage the joint symptoms, but also to reduce the need for drugs with potential adverse cardiovascular effects and, ultimately, to diminish the inflammation driven atherothrombotic process.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\" itemprop=\"text\">\n<p>According to a study by scientists at Copenhagen University Hospital Gentoffe, people with rheumatoid arthritis have an increased risk of irregular heart rhythm (known as atrial fibrillation), which is also a risk factor for stroke.
