Abstract
Recent studies have highlighted several pathogenic connections between skin disorders and cardiac manifestations. Dermatologists frequently encounter several genetic or inherited skin conditions that can have significant cardiac implications, including septal defects, cardiomyopathy, and valvular heart disease, which may sometimes be life-threatening. In this review, primary cutaneous disorders having cardiac manifestations are described. A comprehensive narrative review of the literature was conducted by searching articles published through November 2023 in the PubMed and Google Scholar databases. Original research articles, review articles, case reports, case series and other relevant English-language publications were included. The review identified several congenital diseases, inflammatory conditions, connective tissue disorders, and adverse drug reactions that have both skin and cardiac involvement. Diagnosing these cardiac manifestations in patients with skin conditions is crucial for appropriate management, timely intervention and effective patient counselling.
