Does interleukin-1 inhibition by anakinra improve vascular and left ventricular function in patients with rheumatoid arthritis?
Anakinra improves vascular and left ventricular function and reduces nitrooxidative stress in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
Interleukin-1 inhibition improves vascular and left ventricular function and is associated with reduction of nitrooxidative stress and endothelin.
Ikonomidis et al. (2008) studied this question.
