Summary

RA is associated with traditional cerebrovascular risk factors as subclinical atherosclerosis.

Chronic inflammation and high disease activity are associated with atherosclerotic burden, higher incidence of cerebrovascular disease ,chronic heart failure , and mortality of patients with RA .

High-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) predicted a greater risk coronary heart disease, heart failure hospitalization and overall mortality in the general population .

So the aim of the study is to correlate between high sensitive cardiac troponin I , TNF-α to disease activity and presence of subclinical atherosclerosis in RA patients
