An important diagnostic tool for rheumatoid arthritis, an inflammatory illness marked by persistent joint inflammation, is the Rheumatoid Factor (RF), which is frequently connected to the RA (Rheumatoid Arthritis) test. However, because rheumatoid arthritis affects the cardiovascular system and is a systemic condition, its significance also extends to health heart diagnostics (HHD).
The majority of rheumatoid arthritis patients have rheumatoid factor autoantibodies in their blood. In addition to joint inflammation, the presence of RF may suggest systemic involvement, including the cardiovascular system. Due to the persistent inflammation that rheumatoid arthritis is connected with, patients are more likely to develop cardiovascular illnesses such as atherosclerosis, myocarditis, and pericarditis.
