Popis: Psoriasis has long been known as a disease with many complications, but was attributed to diet and obesity. However, in recent years, psoriasis itself has been recognized as a series of systemic inflammatory diseases, and that the cytokines involved can induce a variety of other diseases. Individuals with psoriasis were also found to have higher incidences of cerebral and cardiovascular diseases and a younger age at death compared to healthy individuals. However, no clear guidelines have been defined regarding how much vascular lesion testing should be performed in patients with psoriasis. In this report, I attempt to unravel the objective data on psoriasis and its complications from various reviews and reports, and introduce the impact of biologics, which are currently the main treatment for psoriasis, on cardiac vascular disease.
