Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), is a inflammatory joint disease of chronic nature with predominant articular symptoms of pain ,swelling and stiffness.The most common extraarticular manifestation is cardiovascular disease which accounts for 50 % mortality in RA patients . Complex interplay between traditional CVD risk factors ,systemic inflammation and vascular function in RA are the reasons behind the scene worse outcome in RA patients .5 The MCC of mortality in Rheumatoid Arthritis patients is cardiovascular disease .1,2 Endothelial dysfunction is directly related to RA associated systemic inflammation The aim of the review is to discuss Endothelium ,its morphology and normal physiology ,consider endothelial dysfunction (ED ) in RA patients and relate endothelial dysfunction to systemic inflammation and traditional CVD risk factors and also consider the effect of drugs on vascular function.
