Psoriasis, an autoimmune disease that causes skin change too quickly turned out to be a risk factor for heart attack and stroke. According to large-scale study published in the European Heart Journal.
Patients suffering from severe psoriasis at a young age to be the group most at risk of stroke and heart disease. The risk is even three times greater than with normal people. Experts suspect it happens because the skin and blood vessels have the same source of inflammation.
The link between stroke with psoriasis have long known. In this latest study the researchers analyzed the 36.765 patients in Denmark with mild psoriasis and 2793 patients with severe psoriasis. Research conducted between 1997 and 2006.
The result is known that those aged under 50 years old with mild psoriasis had an increased risk of abnormal heart rhythm by 50 percent, while the risk of ischemic stroke increased by 97 percent.
And people with severe psoriasis have an increased risk of heart disease and stroke respectively 198 percent and 180 percent. While patients aged over 50 have a much smaller risk.
Yet research shows only link the two diseases. In other words it does not mean psoriasis cause a stroke or vice versa.
