Pain and inflammation are common symptoms in the management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) []. The pathogenesis of RA involves a combination of genetics, environmental factors, and inflammatory mediators, which contribute to the development of inflammation and subsequent RA. The inflammatory response plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of RA, especially in RA patients with underlying RA []. In the management of RA, RA patients who are at an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease, tendo-adduct-related RA (TADR), tendo-adduct-associated RA (TADASR), and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), the most common types of RA, can achieve and maintain a clinical response to therapy [].
In the treatment of RA, RA patients who are at an increased risk for developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) or cardiovascular disease-related death should be screened for a possible or possible, risk factor that increases the risk for developing CVD or cardiovascular disease. This screening can be performed at a glance, where the risk of developing CVD or cardiovascular disease is not known or strongly suspected in the patient. A meta-analysis of clinical trials evaluating the efficacy of one or more of the above-listed risk factors in the management of RA has been performed in more than 10,000 RA patients in the literature. The meta-analysis showed that the risk of CVD or cardiovascular disease was significantly increased in patients with a previous MI, CV, and heart failure [].
The risk of developing CVD or cardiovascular disease is also significantly increased in patients who have a previous MI, have left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, and are at risk of cardiovascular disease in the setting of RA. The results of the meta-analysis suggested that the risk of developing CVD or cardiovascular disease was significantly increased in patients who had at least three previous MI, or had left ventricular (LV) dysfunction in the setting of RA [].
The use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is well established for the short-term management of RA patients with chronic pain and inflammation [,]. This is because the combination of NSAIDs and other medications can cause gastrointestinal irritation and ulceration, making it difficult to eradicate the underlying disease. NSAIDs are typically prescribed as a single dose, and can be divided into several doses in a day []. The maximum dose of NSAIDs, which includes ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn), diclofenac (Voltaren), and indomethacin (Indocin), is usually 400–800 mg daily, and is gradually increased to 1200–1500 mg daily []. Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), and is the first-line medication for the management of RA and TADR, especially in the first-line setting [,]. In the case of rheumatoid arthritis, the most common type of RA, NSAIDs are used alone or in combination with other drugs such as aspirin or ibuprofen []. The use of NSAIDs for the short-term management of RA patients with chronic pain and inflammation is not recommended, and is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease [].
The use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in RA patients is not recommended for the short-term management of RA, because the long-term efficacy of NSAIDs for the treatment of RA patients with chronic pain and inflammation may not be clearly defined [,]. NSAIDs are commonly used for the short-term management of RA patients with chronic pain and inflammation, but are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and cardiovascular death [,]. The risk of cardiovascular disease may be increased in patients who have a previous MI, CV, or heart failure and who are at a high risk of developing cardiovascular disease and/or cardiovascular death. The risk of developing CVD or cardiovascular disease is also significantly increased in patients who have a previous MI, CV, and heart failure, especially when compared to those who have not [].
The risk of developing CVD or cardiovascular disease is also significantly increased in patients who have a previous MI, or have left ventricular (LV) dysfunction in the setting of RA. The use of NSAIDs in the short-term management of RA patients with chronic pain and inflammation is not recommended, because the long-term efficacy of NSAIDs for the treatment of RA patients with chronic pain and inflammation may not be clearly defined []. The use of NSAIDs for the short-term management of RA patients with chronic pain and inflammation is not recommended, because the risk of cardiovascular disease may be increased in patients who have a previous MI, or have left ventricular (LV) dysfunction in the setting of RA.
