High-Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin-I Is Elevated in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis, Independent of Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Inflammation

OBJECTIVES: We examined the hypothesis that cardiac-specific troponin-I (cTn-I), a biomarker of myocardial injury, is elevated in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). BACKGROUND: RA patients have an increased incidence of heart failure (HF). Chronic myocardial injury in RA may be a mechanism for...
