ABSTRACT
Rheumatoid arthritis patients have an increased risk of subclinical cardiovascular disease, and they also have a high prevalence of carotid disease and peripheral arterial disease as a form of vasculitis. Rheumatoid arthritis patients have an increased cardiovascular mortality rate and an increased premature death rate, and they have a higher incidence of atherosclerosis. Myocardial infarction due to vasculitis is a rare complication for patients with rheumatoid vasculitis. We report here on a case of a patient with multiorgan involvement who developed myocardial infarction, right carotid artery occlusion and left renal artery occlusion secondary to his rheumatoid vasculitis.
