Improving Hypertension Control in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Hypertension, Rheumatoid Arthritis
In brief
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a autoimmune disease associated with an increased risk of developing coronary artery disease (CAD) and premature death,. Traditional CAD risk factors like hypertension (HTN) are both very common and poorly controlled among RA patients. Patients with RA face significant challenges in controlling HTN. The goal of this project is to identify barriers to HTN care in patients with RA to reduce CAD events.
