Summary

This study looked at how psoriasis, a skin condition caused by inflammation, might be linked to heart disease and other metabolic problems. Researchers followed 386 adults with psoriasis for up to 4 years, using blood tests, heart scans, and imaging to measure inflammation in blood vessels. The goal was to better understand the connection between psoriasis and heart health, not to test a new treatment.
