1 Prof. Dr. W.-H. Boehncke Zentrum der Dermatologie und Venerologie JWG-Universität Frankfurt am Main Prof. Dr. W.-H. Boehncke Zentrum der Dermatologie und Venerologie JWG-Universität Frankfurt am Main PSORIASIS AND CORONARY ARTERY CALCIFICATION (CAC)

2 PSORIASIS and co-morbidity no. 1 co-morbidity: PSA! evidence for increased risk for cardiovascular mortality –NEJM 1973, 288: 912 –BJD 1978, 99: 469 –JID 2001, 117: 1531 –Eur J Epidemiol 2004, 19: 225 but: –more smokers BJD 1996, 135: 859 –more diabetes ADR 1975, 254: 43 –more hypertension Dermatologica 1986, 172: 298 so: What is the role of PSO? –background: chronic inflammation causes atherosclerosis

3 A ROLE FOR P-SELECTIN IN „ENDOTHELITIS“?

6 PSORIASIS AND CAC Is there a correlation between disease severity and P-selectin expression? –monitoring of in- patients PASI FACS

7 PSORIASIS AND CAC Are PSO patients at risk to develop cardiac disease? –32 PSO patients –matched controls –spiral CT CAC score (Agatston)
