People who suffer from psoriasis may want to pay extra attention to heart risks, according to a new study that found they are at a greater risk for blocked arteries than those who don't have the skin disease.
The study, published in the American Journal of Cardiology, also suggests the heart risks are higher in people who've had psoriasis longer.
"Our advice to patients with psoriasis is to make sure they get screened for their modifiable cardiovascular risk factors," said Dr. Joel Gelfand, a professor of dermatology at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.
