Abstract
Background : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) associates with accelerated atherosclerosis and high cardiovascular mortality. Cardiovascular risk assessment in RA pts with comorbid hypertension (HT) is do not fully reflected by traditional risk scales, thus additional factors searching is required. Objectives: We aimed to estimate the adiponectin level, insulin resistance, endothelial function in RA females with comorbid HT and its relationship with subclinical manifestations of atherosclerosis. Methods: The study included 82 RA females with low disease activity and comorbid HT (mean age of 54.6 [49.7; 62.5] years) and 40 HT females without RA (control group). All pts received stable therapy of RA more than 6 months. Pts with coronary artery disease were excluded.
