Fig. 1 Comparison of corrected QT (QTc) interval by rheumatoid
arthritis-related parameters. No association is observed between the QTc
interval and sex, diabetes, or the presence of rheumatoid factor (RF) or
anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) (1A, 1B, 1D, and 1E);
Patients with hypertension or an erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)
higher than 30 mm/h have longer QTc intervals (1C and 1F).
Fig. 2 Comparison of corrected QT
(QTc) interval by disease activity indices. The analysis of variance
indicated that patients with elevated disease activity show
significantly longer QTc intervals
(p < 0.0001).
