People with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are at increased risk of heart problems, in particular heart failure.

Despite modern medical advances, the outcomes for people with heart failure remain poor.

This project is exploring the relationship between inflammation and heart failure in RA patients. This is to understand why people with RA are more likely to develop heart failure and give insight into potential treatments
