Case Report: Cardiac Tamponade in a Rheumatoid Arthritis Patient

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic systemic autoimmune inflammatory disease. Although RA develops its central pathology within the synovium of diarthrodial joints, many non-articular organs can be involved, particularly in patients with severe joint disease.1 Although most patients are asymptomatic, cardiac involvement is relatively common and includes rheumatic heart nodules, pericarditis (30–50%), pericardial effusion and… [Read More]

Here, we focus on the metabolic myopathies that present… [Read More]
