U.S.
study: Psoriasis is not a disease confined to the skin
The
relationship between coronary heart disease and psoriasis were not to come to
our minds to be U.S. study showed that patients with psoriasis may be more
susceptible to obstruction arteries than those who do not suffer this skin
disease, where the researchers said in the study published in the American
Journal of Cardiology ,
that the longer disease psoriasis greater the risk.
Psoriasis patients are more prone to heart disease
Said April Armstrong of the University of California at Davis, which participated in the study, "one of the things that we have reached that psoriasis is not a disease confined to the skin." And examined the records of patients who underwent tests on the coronary arteries in the heart to compare the results of those tests, which belong to people who do not suffer from psoriasis.
Patients with psoriasis thick scaly skin patches and red believed to be due to immune system attacking the body's own cells by mistake.Among about 9500 patients included in the analysis a little over 200 patients with psoriasis. Comparing the results of the tests with those of other patients who have undergone cardiac examination showed that patients were more likely to have high cholesterol and weight gain.
And in general was 84 percent of psoriasis patients suffer narrow the arteries that supply blood to the heart, which is known as coronary artery disease, compared with 75 percent of patients who do not suffer psoriasis, the researchers conclude also that the longer the injury patients with psoriasis risk was greater.
And Joel Jylvand said professor of dermatology at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, "Our advice to patients with psoriasis is to make sure they are subject to the examination of risk factors adjustable in the veins of the heart." And said Jylvand who was not involved in the study that the risk factors for adjustable These include smoking, blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose levels and body mass index, a measure of weight in relation to height.
Armstrong said, that the study did not prove that the situation cause of heart disease, but the rash may be a sign of inflammation within the body as well.
