Cardiovascular risk in psoriasis, the association between psoriatic inflammation and atherosclerosis, and the cardiovascular-risk-reducing effects of biologics JCM_MDPI psoriasis inflammation cardiovascular atherosclerosis
By Bhavana KunkalikarFeb 6 2023Reviewed by Danielle Ellis, B.Sc. In a recent study published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine, researchers explored the impact of biological interventions in reducing cardiovascular risk among psoriasis patients.
Cardiovascular events in psoriasis patients Psoriasis is a systemic and chronic inflammatory disorder associated with several events, including CVD, hypertension, obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia. Studies have also shown that psoriatic arthritis increases CVD risk. Previous research has indicated that psoriasis patients display a significant prevalence of obesity. Obesity was also found to be associated with psoriasis severity. The pooled odds ratio was 1.
Atherosclerosis in patients with psoriasis Drug Discovery eBook Compilation of the top interviews, articles, and news in the last year. Download a free copy Psoriasis patients have displayed a higher prevalence of coronary artery plaques than healthy individuals. Inflammatory cytokines like TNF-α, IL-17, and IL-23 contribute to the underlying etiology and systemic inflammation presented in psoriasis. It has been observed that IL-1β-targeting therapies diminish atherosclerosis.
By lowering inflammation, biologics can reduce intima-media thickness , indicating the development of subclinical atherosclerotic plaque. In a Danish cohort study, people with psoriasis who received biological treatment reported reduced CVD events. Therefore, anti-inflammatory medication that targets TNF-α, IL-17, and IL-23, the primary pathogenic agents in psoriasis, can potentially reduce the risk of CVD and psoriatic skin rash.
