Summary

To evaluate the contribution of the assessment of endothelial dysfunction (ED) in improving coronary hearth disease (CHD) risk stratification obtained by the Framingham risk score (FRS) in rheumatoid arthritis population (RA).

Detailed description

ED, determined by peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT), will be evaluated at baseline in 3000 RA patients free of previous cardiovascular events. Incident CHD events during the 3-year planned follow-up will be registered. A measure of the incremental yield of ED will be obtained comparing 2-year Framingham risk score for CHD (FRS) and FRS plus ED differential prognostic performances by C-statics and risk reclassification analysis.
