Abstrakt: The heart of 12 patients with psoriasis at the stage of exacerbation compared to that of 16 practically healthy persons who had died of trauma was studied at the necropsy medical-forensic examination. Microcirculatory vessels with the wall thickening, plasmatic impregnation, mononuclear cell proliferation, focal stromal sclerosis were observed in the myocardium. Disorganization of connective tissue with mucoid edema and diffuse mononuclear cell infiltration of mitral and aortal valves was observed. These alterations correspond to slowly progressing chronic myocarditis and diffuse valvulitis.
