Scientists probe hidden link between skin condition and heart risk
NCT ID NCT01778569
Summary
This study aimed to understand how the chronic inflammation from psoriasis might increase a person's risk for heart disease and diabetes. Researchers followed 386 adults with psoriasis for up to 4 years, performing regular blood tests, heart scans, and optional skin biopsies. The goal was to learn how inflammation in one part of the body (like the skin) can affect other systems, potentially leading to better prevention strategies in the future.
