Recorded sources

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that rheumatoid arthritis increases the risk of heart attack?

Yes. A reference source and a 2022 review both state that people with rheumatoid arthritis have a markedly increased risk of myocardial infarction (heart attack). Several other reviews support an elevated cardiovascular risk more broadly.
