Postulated shared mechanisms of rheumatoid arthritis and gout are systemic inflammation, reactive oxygen species (ROS)induced oxidative stress, and endothelial dysfunction, all of which lead to atherosclerosis (figure 2). 59 Another study found an increased prevalence of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, which correlated primarily with disease activity and with antiinflammatory treat ments (ie, conventional synthetic DMARDs and biological DMARDs). Rheumatoid arthritis and gout-two inflammatory joint diseases with different underlying causes-are associated with about a 50-70% increased risk of cardiovascular disease compared with the general population.
