Cardiovascular comorbidities in psoriatic arthritis - study of patients from the Republic of Moldova
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic musculoskeletal and cutaneous inflammatory disease that affects about 20-30% of patients with psoriasis. In addition to musculoskeletal and cutaneous manifestations, patients with PsA have a higher prevalence of comorbidities compared to the general population. More than half of patients with PsA have at least one comorbidity, with up to 40% of patients having more than three comorbidities.
Impact of comorbidities on the clinical and ultrasound features of psoriatic arthritis
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic musculoskeletal and cutaneous inflammatory disease that affects about 20-30% of patients with psoriasis. In addition to musculoskeletal and cutaneous manifestations, patients with PsA have a higher prevalence of comorbidities compared to the general population. More than half of patients with PsA have at least one comorbidity, with up to 40% of patients having more than three comorbidities. PsA has a particularly strong association with metabolic diseases and, as a result, with cardiovascular diseases (CVD).
