Enhanced ventricular ‐arterial coupling during a 2‐year physical activity program in patients with rheumatoid arthritis

ConclusionThese results indicate that although differentially associated with physical capacity parameters, improved vascular stiffness, and improved diastolic dysfunction are interrelated, and that an optimization of the ventricular‐arterial coupling may contribute to the beneficial effects of physical activity in RA patients.This article is protected by copyright.
