Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-mediated angiogenesis's role in developing psoriasis and cardiovascular events has been established. However, the interplay between the two diseases regarding this cytokine remains an understudied area. This case-control study aimed to investigate the relationship between VEGF-mediated angiogenesis and cardiovascular ischemia in patients with psoriasis. The study included 200 clinically diagnosed treatment-naïve cases of psoriasis and 200 controls. The VEGF level, cutaneous vascularity, and cardiovascular ischemia were measured between cases and controls. Cutaneous vascularity was assessed using non-invasive imaging technique such as laser doppler imaging (LDI) and measuring skin blood flow measurement (SBFM). Cardiovascular ischemia was evaluated using noninvasive techniques by measuring carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and pulse-wave velocity (PWV). The arterial vasa vasorum was evaluated using ultrasound imaging. The study found a significant correlation between psoriasis severity and levels of VEGF (P < 0.001). Cases had significantly higher CIMT and PWV levels (P = 0.001 and <0.001, respectively). There was a significant positive correlation between the severity of psoriasis and the levels of cutaneous angiogenesis (r = 0.7, P < 0.001). According to this study, patients with psoriasis are at a higher risk of developing cardiovascular ischemia due to excessive angiogenesis associated with the condition. VEGF plays a key role in atheroma formation in psoriasis patients.
