An international audit of the management of dyslipidaemia and hypertension in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: results from 19 countries

Abstract

We revealed considerable geographical differences in estimated CVD risk and preventive treatment. Low goal attainment for LLT was observed, and only half the patients obtained BP goal. Despite a high focus on the increased CVD risk in RA patients over the last decade, there is still substantial potential for improvement in CVD preventive measures.
