Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory process involving the joints and the cartilage. Early diagnosis and treatment of RA are crucial to prevent further complications like heart failure (HF), cervical subluxation, membranous glomerulonephritis, and parenchymal lung disease. HF is the leading cause of death in various chronic illnesses. The pathophysiology of HF varies based on the type of illness. In this review, our main objective was to look into the association between RA and HF by examining the pathogenesis, risk factors, and treatment of HF in RA. We also discuss the role of the inflammatory markers associated with HF in the pathogenesis. The treatment of anti-inflammatory drugs in HF associated with RA is also discussed. We also address the risk factors associated with RA so that the development of complications like HF can be reduced in this patient population.
