Analysis of cardiovascular morbidity in psoriatic arthritis Psoriatic arthritis is a seronegative spondyloarthritidis with a 5-20% prevalence among psoriatics. Spondyloarthritides are associated with increased cardiovascular risks, which can only partly be explained by traditional risk factors. Recent studies have highlighted that the chronic, systemic inflammatory condition of patients with spondyloarthritides may be involved in the development of cardiac and vascular pathologies. Early diagnosis of cardiovascular pathology can prevent complications and significantly improve the prognosis in these patients.

Artrita psoriazică – reprezintă spondiloartrită seronegativă care se întâlneşte la 5 – 20% dintre pacienţii cu psoriazis. Spondiloartritele se asociază cu riscuri cardiovasculare înalte, care pot fi explicate doar parţial prin factorii de risc tradiţionali. Studiile recente au demonstrat impactul procesului inflamator cronic sistemic asupra patologiei cardiovasculare. Diagnosticul precoce a afecţiunilor cardiovasculare poate preveni complicaţii şi ameliora prognosticul pentru aceşti pacienţi.
