Abstract
: Psoriasis being a multisystemic disorder has multiple systemic comorbidities apart from cutaneous manifestations including metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular diseases. To study P-wave dispersion in patients of psoriasis.A total of 71 patients who presented in the dermatology OPD with chronic plaque psoriasis were assessed for disease severity and their ECG was evaluated.In this study of 71 patients aged 15-60 years, a strong positive correlation was found between PASI score and P-wave dispersion (r=0.703, p=0.000) indicating a strong association between disease severity of psoriasis and development of cardiovascular diseases.The P-wave dispersion was significantly higher in patients with high PASI scores. This indicates that the patients of psoriasis are at a higher risk of developing cardiovascular diseases like atrial fibrillation.
