Comprehensive examination was made in women (mean age 49.6 +/- 7.4 years) with rheumatoid arthritis diagnosed abnormalities of brachiocephalic and coronary arteries in 86% of cases. Duplex scanning of brachiocephalic arteries revealed changes in 82% of the women. 64-section spiral computed tomography established coronary artery abnormalities in 33% of cases. There were isolated changes in the brachiocephalic arteries in 50% of the patients, a concomitant lesion of the brachiocephalic and coronary arteries in 32%, and isolated changes in the coronary arteries in 4%. A direct correlation was found between the index of coronary artery calcification and the intima-media thickness of brachiocephalic arteries. |
