摘要
Severe psoriasis is associated with an increased cardiovascular risk, which may be independent of the traditional risk factors. Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) has been shown to predict a poor cardiovascular prognosis in the general population and in patients with psoriasis. In this study, we assessed the prevalence and predictors of CMD in a large cohort of patients with psoriasis without clinical cardiovascular disease. A total of 503 patients with psoriasis were enrolled and underwent transthoracic Doppler echocardiography to evaluate coronary microcirculation. Of these, 55 patients were excluded from the analyses because of missing data. Of the 448 patients in this study, 31.5% showed CMD. Higher PASI, longer disease duration, the presence of psoriatic arthritis, and hypertension were independently associated with CMD. An increase of 1 point of PASI and 1 year of psoriasis duration were associated with a 5.8% and 4.6% increased risk of CMD, respectively. In our study, CMD was associated with the severity and duration of psoriasis. This supports the role of systemic inflammation in CMD and suggests that the coronary microcirculation may represent an extracutaneous site involved in the immune-mediated injury of psoriasis. We should diagnose and actively search for CMD in patients with severe psoriasis.
