Abstract

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic immuno-mediated disease primarily affecting the joints, characterized by persistent high-grade systemic inflammation. Cardiovascular morbidity and mortality are significantly increased in RA, with >50% of premature deaths attributable to cardiovascular disease. In particular, RA patients were twice as likely to experience sudden cardiac death compared with non-RA subjects, pointing to an increased propensity to develop malignant ventricular arrhythmias. Indeed, ventricular repolarization (QT interval) abnormalities and cardiovascular autonomic nervous system dysfunction, representing two well-recognized risk factors for life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias in the general population, are commonly observed in RA. Moreover, large population-based studies seem to indicate that also the prevalence of atrial fibrillation is significantly higher in RA subjects than in the general population, thus suggesting that these patients are characterized by an abnormal diffuse myocardial electrical instability. Although the underlying mechanisms accounting for the pro-arrhythmogenic substrate in RA are probably intricate, the leading role seems to be played by chronic systemic inflammatory activation, able to promote arrhythmias both indirectly, by accelerating the development of ischaemic heart disease and congestive heart failure, and directly, by affecting cardiac electrophysiology. In this integrated mechanistic view, lowering the inflammatory burden through an increasingly tight control of disease activity may represent the most effective intervention to reduce arrhythmic risk in these patients. Intriguingly, these considerations could be more generally applicable to all the diseases characterized by chronic systemic inflammation, and could help elucidate the link between low-grade chronic inflammation and arrhythmic risk in the general population.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
