Hydroxychloroquine is often used as a first-line treatment of rheumatoid arthritis despite limited evidence on its cardiovascular risk. We conducted a cardiovascular safety evaluation comparing hydroxychloroquine to methotrexate among patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Using Medicare data (2008–2016), we identified 54,462 propensity score-matched patients with rheumatoid arthritis, aged ≥ 65 years, who initiated hydroxychloroquine or methotrexate. Primary outcomes were sudden cardiac arrest or ventricular arrythmia (SCA/VA), and major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE). Secondary outcomes were cardiovascular mortality, all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke, and hospitalized heart failure (HF). We also examined treatment effect modification by history of HF. Hydroxychloroquine was not associated with risk of SCA/VA (HR 1.03, 95% CI 0.79–1.35) or MACE (HR 1.07, 95% CI 0.97–1.18) compared to methotrexate. In patients with history of HF, hydroxychloroquine initiators had a higher risk of MACE (HR 1.30, 95% CI 1.08–1.56), cardiovascular mortality (HR 1.34, 95% CI 1.06–1.70), all-cause mortality (HR 1.22, 95% CI 1.04–1.43), myocardial infarction (HR 1.74, 95% CI 1.25–2.42), and hospitalized HF (HR 1.29, 95% CI 1.07–1.54) methotrexate initiators. Cardiovascular risks were not different in patients without history of HF except for an increased hospitalized HF risk (HR 1.57, 95% CI 1.30–1.90) among hydroxychloroquine initiators. In older patients with rheumatoid arthritis, hydroxychloroquine and methotrexate showed similar SCA/VA and MACE risks. However, hydroxychloroquine initiators with history of HF had higher risks of MACE, cardiovascular mortality, all-cause mortality, and myocardial infarction. An increased hospitalized HF risk was observed among hydroxychloroquine initiators regardless of a HF history. Hydroxychloroquine has been used as a first-line treatment of rheumatoid arthritis for decades despite limited evidence on its cardiovascular risk. We conducted an active comparator, new user cohort study using Medicare fee-for-service to evaluate the cardiovascular safety of hydroxychloroquine compared to methotrexate among 54,462 older patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Hydroxychloroquine did not confer excess in SCA/VA or MACE risks compared to methotrexate. However, among individuals with history of HF, hydroxychloroquine appears to increase the risks of MACE, cardiovascular mortality, all-cause mortality, and myocardial infarction. An increased risk of hospitalized HF was observed among hydroxychloroquine initiators regardless of HF history.
