The Frequency of Coronary Heart Disease and Myocardial Infarction in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Abstract: The frequency of coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction in 500 persons with rheumatoidearthritis (116 men and 384 women) receiving salicylates during long period time were examined. Coronary heart disease in 2 cases (1 man and 1 woman) and myocardial infarction in 1 man were found.On the basis of the age and duration observations the authors discovered that the coefficient morbidity was statistically significant lower than in the same population but without rheumatoid arthritis. The coronary risk fac… Show more

“…Cobb et al [44] analyzed the autopsy findings of 191 patients with rheumatoid arthritis and found an incidence of acute myocardial infarction of 4%, as compared with an expected rate of 31%. Similar results indicating a lower morbidity from coronary disease or mortality from myocardial infarction in rheumatoid arthritis were found in 500 living patients [48], compared with a control group and in 62 autopsy studies of patients with a rheumatoid arthritis who had been treated with aspirin [53]. These findings suggested a negative correlation between chronic use of aspirin and incidence of coronary disease.…”
