ObjectivesCardiovascular risk excess in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) cannot be explained by traditional risk factors alone. Recent experimental data have identified ALDH4A1 as a mitochondrial self-antigen implicated in atherosclerosis, yet its clinical significance in human autoimmunity remains unexplored. We aimed to characterize ALDH4A1 and anti-ALDH4A1 antibody levels in early RA, and evaluate their associations with atherosclerosis burden and lipoprotein traits. MethodsALDH4A1 and anti-ALDH4A1...
