Short description of contents:
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are exposed to impairment in left ventricular (LV) function, which is a prognosticator of poorer clinical outcomes. In this study we assessed prevalence and factors associated with adverse outcomes in patients with RA and asymptomatic LV systolic dysfunction (LVSD).
