Article Synopsis
- Chronic inflammation, particularly through interleukin-6 (IL-6), is linked to both rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and cardiovascular disease (CVD), with IL-6 levels correlating to joint damage and disease severity.
- A study involving 60 RA patients and 30 healthy controls found that IL-6 levels were significantly higher in RA patients, correlating with several CVD risk assessment tools (Framingham Risk Score and SCORE) and markers like NT-proBNP and HS-CRP.
- The findings suggest that elevated IL-6 may serve as a potential biomarker for predicting cardiovascular risks in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
