Psoriasis Raises Risk of Heart Disease and Stroke
Has your doctor told you this?
- Explain
to patients that this study showed that psoriasis patients have an
increased risk of heart disease and stroke compared with the general
population.
- Point out that the findings were based on a
retrospective analysis of data from studies that were not designed to
evaluate the risk of CHD and stroke.
- Note that this study was
published as an abstract and presented as a poster at a conference.
These data and conclusions should be considered to be preliminary until
published in a peer-reviewed journal.
