Abstract
The article is of an overview nature and contains up-to-date information on comorbid cardiovascular pathology in psoriasis. Various studies have shown that psoriasis is associated with a higher prevalence of CVD risk factors, including hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. The relationship between the severity of psoriasis and the risk of cardiovascular disease, as well as the prognostic risks with mortality rates, are discussed. Proposed common pathogenetic mechanisms include genetic factors, inflammatory pathways, adipokine secretion, insulin resistance, lipoprotein composition and function, angiogenesis, oxidative stress, and hypercoagulability.
