Role of Vitamin D in Rheumatoid Arthritis Pathogenesis
Increasing evidence indicates serum vitamin D levels and polymorphisms in enzymes involved in vitamin D metabolism can affect the risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis, influence disease activity and recurrence, and increase the risk of comorbidities, such as cardiovascular diseases
Mitigating Risk of Cardiovascular Disease in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Despite the growing recognition of CVD as a common complication of RA, many rheumatologists do not aggressively manage CV risk in patients with rheumatic disease.
Examining Patient-Reported Outcomes in Rheumatoid Arthritis
