Article Synopsis
- Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) experience higher rates of cardiac dysfunction, leading to increased mortality despite treatment.
- In an animal study using collagen-induced arthritis models, researchers found persistent cardiac dysfunction and a link between elevated epinephrine levels and heart failure biomarkers in RA.
- Treatment with β-adrenergic blockers improved heart function, suggesting targeting β-adrenergic stress may help protect RA patients from heart failure.
