One hundred three RA patients, asymptomatic for CV diseases, were submitted to a stress test.

The evaluation of the disease activity showed that the mean Disease Activity Score in 28 joints C\u2010reactive protein, Clinical Disease Activity Index and Simplified Disease Activity Index were 3.9\u00a0\u00b1\u00a01.38, 17.17\u00a0\u00b1\u00a011.4 and 33.39\u00a0\u00b1\u00a026, respectively. The ischaemic ratio (CT\/HDL) revealed that 42% of patients had a moderate to high myocardial ischaemic risk. HeartSCORE was high in 35% of cases. A silent myocardial ischaemia in the stress test was found in 11 patients (10.6%) and was associated with male sex (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.03), advanced age (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.04), erosive character (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.05), the advanced age of the RA diagnosis (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.01) and the ischaemic ratio (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.05).
