Resumen

AGUILA CARBELO, Madyaret et al. Theoretical approach to the use of imaging in the early diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. Medicentro Electrónica [online]. 2023, vol.27, n.1, e3899.  Epub 01-Ene-2023. ISSN 1029-3043.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a progressive disease, with classic and early manifestations such as involvement of the small joints of the hands and ankles. We conducted a bibliographic review of the documents published between 2017 and 2022. A preliminary reading of 37 articles that met the inclusion criteria was carried out, and 23 articles were finally selected, from which the most important content was taken. Ultrasound is a more sensitive and reliable technique than clinical examination for the study of musculoskeletal disease, since it allows a multiplanar and dynamic examination, which results in a more accurate diagnosis. Doppler technique is a useful complement in the follow-up of these patients. This disease is recurrent in Rheumatology consultations, that’s why in its initial assessment, the usefulness of diagnostic means, especially ultrasound, is of great importance.

Palabras clave : arthritis, rheumatoid; doppler echocardiography; rheumatology.
