Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic inflammatory disease. Left atrial (LA) dysfunction is strongly linked to cardiovascular diseases, and the early detection of LA function in patients with RA is vital. Real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT-3DE) offers a noninvasive method to assess the structure and function of the LA.
