Popis: Studying the factors leading to a pathological change in the cardiac structure in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can contribute to improvement in early diagnosis and to prevention of premature mortality from cardiovascular events.Objective. To study the types of left ventricular (LV) remodeling in patients with RA, by taking into account traditional cardiovascular risk factors, and to assess the clinical and immunological features of RA and the impact of drug therapy.Patients and methods. The investigation enrolled 74 RA patients who underwent assessment of echocardiography findings, by determining the type of LV remodeling, traditional cardiovascular risk factors, clinical and immunological features of the disease, as well as the current drug therapy.Results and discussion. Eccentric LV hypertrophy (ELVH) (n=33 (44.59%)) and concentric LV hypertrophy (CLVH) (n=34 (45.95%)) occurred at almost the same frequency among the pathological types of LV remodeling in patients with RA. Higher DAS28 values (p
