Psoriasis often coexists with other comorbidities, especially cardiovascular diseases, which contribute to the shortened life expectancy of severe psoriatic patients. Systemic inflammation plays a key role in the relationship between psoriasis and atherosclerotic plaque formation. Regular cardiac monitoring and biologic therapies are crucial for holistic care of severe psoriatic patients.
Psoriasis mainly affects the skin and joints and has serious impacts on the physical, emotional, and financial life of patients. Recent studies have demonstrated that other comorbidities are frequently detected in psoriatic patients. A strong association with the development of cardiovascular diseases, such as hypertension, myocardial infarction, and stroke is responsible for the shortened (by 4.5-5years) life expectancy of severe psoriatic patients. Systemic inflammation plays an important role in the interrelationship between psoriasis and atherosclerotic plaque formation, which is a common immunopathogenic pathway that explains the multiorgan involvement in psoriasis. As far life-threatening cardiovascular diseases are very often symptom-free, the treating dermatologist's responsibility is to initiate interdisciplinary holistic patient care, which may lead to directly saved patients' lives. Holistic care of severe psoriatic patients should include regular cardiac monitoring using cardiovascular imaging modalities and functional testing to detect even subclinical coronary artery disease. Effective anti-inflammatory treatment with biologic therapies may have beneficial effects on the cardiovascular state and may reduce the incidence of cardiac events. The authors review the latest findings on the shared immunopathogenic background of psoriasis and cardiovascular diseases and discuss the available data about the cardiovascular responses to the currently used biologic treatments.
