Lower Heart Rate Variability is Associated with High Disease Activity, Functional Disability and Inflammation in Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Cross-Sectional Study
Reduced HRV in individuals with RA is linked to higher disease activity, functional disability and inflammation. This underscores the significance of HRV as a potential tool for assessing cardiovascular autonomic function in RA patients, with implications for their management and prognosis.
