Carotid artery Doppler study and ECG data in anti-CCP positive and anti-CCP negative rheumatoid arthritis patients.

Parameter Anti-CCP positive RA (n = 40) Anti-CCP negative RA (n = 40) P value
ECG (Resting) abnormality 1 (2.5%) 0 (0%) 0.314
RCC-IMT (mm) 0.83 ± 1.16 0.59 ± 0.13 0.199
LCC-IMT (mm) 0.65 ± 0.112 0.60 ± 0.134 0.07
CC-IMT average (mm) 0.65 ± 0.102 0.59 ± 0.130 0.029*

*P value statistically significant. ECG – Electrocardiograph; RCC-IMT–Right carotid intima-medial thickness; LCC-IMT – Left carotid intima-medial thickness; CC-IMT – Carotid intima-medial thickness.
