Abstract
Traditionally, psoriasis was considered to be a purely cutaneous disease affecting otherwise healthy patients (except for joint involvement). Recent studies have, however, shown a relationship between psoriasis and cardiovascular disease, with increased mortality in patients who have severe forms of psoriasis.Dermatologists are thus in a position to play an important role in identifying patients at greater risk of cardiovascular disease and detecting potential risk factors that are, for the most part, manageable and avoidable.To this end, we designed a multiplatform application that provides a simple and intuitive tool to determine body mass index, whether or not metabolic syndrome is present, and cardiovascular risk. The application runs on iOS, Android, and the webpage of the Psoriasis Group of the Spanish Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (AEDV).
