Arthritis and Heart Disease
Arthritis and heart disease are connected in various ways. Chronic inflammation, which is a
hallmark of arthritis, particularly rheumatoid arthritis, can damage blood vessels and
contribute to atherosclerosis—a condition that can lead to heart disease. Furthermore,
some arthritis medications may impact cardiovascular health, and the physical limitations
imposed by arthritis can lead to decreased physical activity, which is another risk factor for
heart disease. Patients with arthritis may also have other comorbidities like diabetes or
obesity, which can compound their risk for developing heart conditions. Highlighting the
importance of a comprehensive approach to treatment and lifestyle modifications may help to mitigate these risks.
