“…It has been reported that psoriasis may accompany mild diastolic dysfunction [35]. Although we could not find a significant association between frequency of diastolic function and PWD and QTcD, still there may be a possible contribution of diastolic dysfunction parameters to the increased PWD in psoriasis.…”

Background. Several reports have demonstrated an association between psoriasis and cardiovascular diseases. P wave dispersion (PWD) is the most important electrocardiographic (ECG) markers used to evaluate the risk of atrial arrhythmias. QT dispersion (QTD) can be used to assess homogeneity of cardiac repolarization and may be a risk for ventricular arrhythmias. Aim. To search PWD and QTD in patients with psoriasis. Methods. Ninety-four outpatient psoriasis patients and 51 healthy people were evaluated by physical examination, 12-lead ECG, and transthoracic echocardiography. Severity of the psoriasis was evaluated by psoriasis area and severity index (PASI). Results. Mean disease duration was 129.4 ± 83.9 (range, 3–360) months and PASI ranged from 0 to 34.0 (mean ± SD; 7.6 ± 6.7). Compared to control group, psoriatic patients had significantly shorter Pmax and Pmin durations, longer QTcmax, and greater PWD and QTcD. Transmitral deceleration time (DT) and isovolumetric relaxation time (IVRT) were significantly longer among psoriasis patients. QTcD and PWD were significantly correlated with disease duration (r = 0.693, P < 0.001, and r = 0.368, P = 0.003, resp.). Conclusions. In this study, we found that both PWD and QTcD are increased in psoriasis patients compared to healthy subjects. In addition, they had longer DT and IVRT.

“…Aortic incompetence was reported in less than 4%. Other cardiac involvement, including subtle atrioventricular nodal involvement and diastolic dysfunction, was reported from case-control studies in Israel and Turkey [24,25]. A larger study in Spain, however, did not find echocardiographic abnormalities in PsA patients as compared with healthy controls [26].…”

There is a wide variation in the prevalence, incidence, and clinical manifestation of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) across countries due to genetic and environmental factors. Data on PsA in Asia are limited and come from small cross-sectional studies. The burden of PsA in Asia is high, including poor physical functioning, poor quality of life, and high socioeconomic cost. In addition, high rates of subclinical atherosclerosis and traditional cardiovascular risk factors among PsA patients in Asia have been demonstrated. Preliminary data suggest treatment with tumor necrosis factor blockers may reverse atherosclerosis in PsA. Several outcome measure instruments, including the Medical Outcomes Survey Short Form 36 and Health Assessment Questionnaire, have been validated for measuring PsA burden among the Chinese. A coordinated effort in Asia from the Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA) and the Asia Pacific League of Associations for Rheumatology (APLAR) will help estimate disease burden and clinical behavior of PsA on that continent.

Abstract: We conclude that mild diastolic dysfunction may accompany PA but our data should be confirmed by further studies.
