Clinical Characteristics Of Psoriasis In Inflammatory Bowel Disease Patients
JOURNAL OF THE EUROPEAN ACADEMY OF DERMATOLOGY AND VENEREOLOGY(2017)
Abstract
rithm used to estimate an individuals’ 10-year cardiovascular risk, was assessed in 263 patients with hidradenitis suppurativa from Irish and Danish centres. The majority (80%) had scores of 10% or less (low risk), 15% had moderate risk scores (10–20%), and only 10 patients (5%) had high risk scores of >20%. The authors concluded that the high incidence of obesity and metabolic syndrome in patients with hidradenitis suppurativa represent non-conventional cardiovascular risk factors, unassessed by Framingham Risk Score, therefore true cardiovascular risk may be significantly higher. In conclusion, evidence suggests that hidradenitis suppurativa, such as others chronic inflammatory conditions, is associated with an increased prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and subclinical atherosclerosis. Therefore, we agree with Vinkel et al. that we, as dermatologist, should have an active approach for screening atherosclerotic cardiovascular risk factors in patients with hidradenitis suppurativa, especially in those with elevated age.
