Abstract
in English, French

The rheumatoid arthritis remains a common condition and constitutes a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge, especially in the elderly. Rheumatoid arthritis is known to be associated with increased mortality, including coronary and cerebrovascular atherosclerosis. A literature review is conducted on the role of rheumatoid arthritis as a cardiovascular risk factor.

La polyarthrite rhumatoïde demeure une affection courante et constitue un défi diagnostique et thérapeutique, notamment chez le sujet âgé. Il est établi que la polyarthrite rhumatoïde est associée à une augmentation de la mortalité, notamment par athérosclérose coronaire et cérébrovasculaire. Une revue de littérature est réalisée sur le rôle de la polyarthrite rhumatoïde comme facteur de risque cardiovasculaire.
