Expert Roundtables Podcast: Research Directions in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have an outlook today that is greatly improved relative to decades past. Ongoing research focuses on RA prevention, precision medicine, and the identification of biomarkers to guide treatment decisions. Additionally, the heart and lungs continue to be of great interest in RA. Join 3 respected rheumatologists as they explore the emerging frontier in RA research.
