A member asked:
Is it true that rheumatoid arthritis increases the chance of getting cardiovascular diseases? if so, would the patient prevent it by taking statins or aspirin or both?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes. RA increases the risk of heart disease, but prevention is not as simple as aspirin or statins. Visit this site for information and discuss the matter with your doctor to take actions specific to your health status: https://www.arthritis.org/health-wellness/about-arthritis/related-conditions/other-diseases/rheumatoid-arthritis-heart-disease Wish you good health!
