Our goal for this book is to examine the contemporary therapy of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) from the increasingly important perspective of impact upon quality of life, costs and long-term health outcomes.

Edited by Drs. Jack Cush and Kathryn Dao, this issue of Rheumatic Disease Clinics of North America addresses one of the most significant issues facing the rheumatologist today––drug safety in a changing world where rheumatoid arthritis (RA) severity is less, patients are being identified and treated at a very early stage, and prevention is on the horizon. Topics covered include: communicating the risk of side effects, urate-lowering therapies, biphosphonates, biologics, malignancy risks, and administering therapies to patients with co-morbidities.
The book combines comprehensive coverage of various aspects of hypertension with guidance in conveying important concepts, knowledge, and advice to patients. The result is a highly useful tool for achieving clinically successful, cost-effective pharmaceutical care for hypertensive patients, and for reducing the morbidity and mortality associated with this devastating disease state.
