Antirheumatic therapy is not associated with changes in circulating N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide levels in patients with autoimmune arthritis
Nguyen, Thao H.P.; Fagerland, Morten; Deyab, Gia; Hjeltnes, Gunnbjørg; Hollan, Ivana; Feinberg, Mark W.; Eilertsen, Gro Østli; Mikkelsen, Knut; Agewall, Stefan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background: Patients with autoimmune arthritis (AA) are at increased risk for impaired cardiac function and heart failure. This may be partly due to the effect of inflammation in heart function. The impact of antirheumatic ... -
