First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether tildrakizumab, a drug already approved for psoriasis, can improve blood flow to the heart in people with moderate-to-severe psoriasis. 36 adults took the drug for 6 months, and researchers measured heart function using special scans. The goal was to see if reducing skin inflammation might also lower the risk of heart problems.
