Table 2 Baseline measurements of intima media thickness and flow mediated dialtation in patients with early RA and age- and sex-matched healthy controls
RA (n= 79) | Controls (n= 44) | |
|---|---|---|
Intima media thickness, mm | 0.52 (0.13) | 0.55 (0.15) |
Baseline diameter of a brachialis, mm | 3.5 (0.07) | 3.5 (0.05) |
Endothelium-dependent flow mediated vasodilatation, % | 108.9 (4.7) | 107.2 (4.6) |
