Ra infected the left chest joints. is my heart the next to be infected ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely : First of all, to clarify RA is an autoimmune disease, not an infection. Therefore, it can affect your body with multiple locations: joints, tendon, vital organs. Timing depends on the progression of your RA and how well it is under controlled.
