Asymmetric dimethylarginine and arterial stiffness in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: A case-control study

Conclusions
Arterial stiffness appears to be increased in rheumatoid arthritis and independently associated with systemic inflammation and physical disability. ADMA concentration was not increased in this small group of patients with rheumatoid arthritis compared with healthy controls; nor was it associated with arterial stiffness.
