Coronary Artery Disease (CAD),is a significant contributor morbidity and mortality in Rheumatoid Arthritis ( RA) .1 Familiarity with the pathophysiology of coronary atherosclerosis will have important practical implications for patient care .Insights in to the mechanisms of thrombosis will give further insight into the concomitant therapy used during acute revascularization.2The purpose of this review is thorough understanding of the connection between atherosclerosis and RA and stress in accurate risk stratification in RA patients and timely intervention to improve outcomes .The review also highlights comprehensive collaboration between Rheumatologist and cardiologist to help in prevention of cardiovascular diseases in RA patients and improve patient care in a total spectrum.
