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.
