Patients with Arthritis Have Increased Risk for Heart Attacks
There is
further evidence that chronic inflammation is an important risk factor for
heart attacks. Such auto-immune diseases
as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis carry an increased risk, even if they are
treated with powerful disease-modifying drugs.
Inflammation is a complex issue, and we need to do everything we can to
control it, especially when present in chronic diseases. Nutrients and anti-oxidants should be
included in the treatment. The drugs are
not the complete answer.
