Long considered a skin-limited condition, psoriasis is currently defined as a chronic, immune-mediated inflammatory disease, presenting, besides the skin changes, important systemic manifestations, the most common being: psoriatic arthritis, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. It is a disease with a strong psycho-emotional and social impact, both through skin changes such as pruritic, scaly erythematous plaques, and through the association of comorbidities that influence morbidity and mortality. It has been shown that psoriasis is an independent cardiovascular risk factor, with patients developing ischemic heart disease/acute coronary syndrome, hypertension, peripheral arterial disease, or stroke. The chronic inflammatory status of psoriasis and the production of specific cytokines may be the etiopathogenic link to atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. Biological therapy may affect atherosclerosis, leading to the arrest of the evolution or even regressing the changes in the atheromatous plaque. The aim of this review was to re-evaluate the current knowledge regarding the cardiovascular comorbidities associated with psoriasis for optimal management of the patients.
