Abstract

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting approximately 1.5-3% of the general population. Several studies have demonstrated an association between psoriasis and atherosclerosis. The aim of this study is the investigate relation between aortic wall stiffness and duration and severity of the disease in patients with psoriasis. The study population included 58 patients with psoriasis (27 men, mean age = 36.3 ± 10.6 years, and mean disease duration = 9.8 ± 6.7 years) and 36 healthy control subjects (17 men, and mean age = 40.0 ± 11.1 years). Aortic stiffness index, aortic strain and distensibility, were calculated from the aortic systolic and diastolic diameters measured by echocardiography and blood pressure obtained by sphygmomanometer. Cardiac functions were determined by using echocardiography, consisting of standard two-dimensional and conventional Doppler. The conventional echocardiographic parameters were similar between patients and controls. There were significant differences between the control and the patient groups in aortic stiffness index (2.7 ± 1.0 vs 2.0 ± 0.8, p = 0.001), aortic strain (10.3 ± 3.3% vs 14.2 ± 4.5%, p <0.001) and distensibility (4.2 ± 1.7 × 10(-6) cm(2)/dyn vs 5.8 ± 2.0 × 10(-6) cm(2)/dyn...Continue Reading
