Conclusion: Myocardial deformation is impaired in RA patients and is related to aortic stiffness. Chronic inhibition of TNF alpha improves LV deformation in association with aortic elasticity.
Effect of Long-Term TNF-alpha Inhibition with Infliximab on Left Ventricular Torsion in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Conclusions: RA is characterized by increased LVtor. Long term TNF-alpha inhibition improves LV longitudinal and radial systolic deformation and decreases LVtor.
