The Effect of TNF- α on CHD and the Relationship between TNF- α Antagonist and CHD in Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Systematic Review

Yezhou Qian et al. Cardiol Res Pract. .

Abstract

Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) plays an important role in coronary heart disease (CHD), a chronic inflammatory process. Meanwhile, this pro-inflammatory factor is also involved in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Patients with RA correspond to a higher risk of CHD. TNF-α antagonist, one of the main treatments for RA, may reduce the risk of CHD in patients with RA. This review summarizes the pathogenesis of TNF-α in CHD and discusses the relationship between TNF-α antagonist and CHD in patients with RA.
