Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic,
autoimmune inflammatory disorder which can also affect cardiovascular system.
Cardiovascular system involvement can be seen in many forms such as
pericarditis, myocarditis, coronary artery disease or heart failure. Diastolic
dysfunction is especially important for preserved ejection fraction heart
failure patients. With this study we aim to investigate echocardiographic diastolic
dysfunction parameters in RA patients.77 RA patients and 76 control subjects without
coronary artery disease, heart failure, valvular heart diseases were included
for the study and echocardiography was performed. Interventricular septum
(p=0.041), posterior wall diameter (p=0.008), left ventricular mass index
(p=0.037) values were significantly higher and E wave (p=0.000), E/A (p=0.000),
e’ (p=0.018) values were significantly lower in RA patients compared to control
group. In conclusion echocardiographic diastolic dysfunction parameters were
declined in RA patients.
