Risk of Heart Attacks and Strokes, Lessened By RA Meds
As published in the open access journal Arthritis Research & Therapy, patients on prescribed rheumatoid arthritis (RA) medications could be at a reduced risk of heart attacks and stroke
Such were the findings of an international team of researchers led by Antonio Naranjo of the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (Spain) and colleagues in Argentina, Europe, and the USA — wherein the team looked into a study that included 4,363 patients from 48 sites in 15 countries and examined the causes and effects of rheumatoid arthritis, as well as the potential benefits of medications.
