“…Increased IMT in the common carotid artery (CCA) is a sign of atherosclerosis in general. 4,7 A study conducted 2013, revealed that 28.6% patients had subclinical atherosclerosis in patients who were diagnosed cases of psoriasis with vascular endothelial dysfunction ion, raised IMT and coronary artery calcification. 8 The primary diagnosis of SC atherosclerosis and the implementation of basic prevention interventions in these patients may reduce the danger of CAD.…”

Objective: To find out how common subclinical atherosclerosis is in psoriasis patients. Study Design: Descriptive cross-sectional study Place and Duration of Study: Dermatology unit of Fauji Foundation, Rawalpindi Pakistan, from Jan 2020 to Jun 2020. Methodology: After receiving informed consent, 314 cases that met the selection criteria were enrolled. Psoriasis was diagnosed depending on physical examination the family history of patients. Ultrasonography high-resolution B mode was opted to assess carotid atherosclerosis (Xario color Doppler probe frequency 5 to 7mHZ.). If the (IMT) was less than 0.9mm, it was regarded normal; values greater than 0.9mm were termed thickened intima, while digits greater than 1.5mm were considered atherosclerotic plaque. SPSS version 21.0 was used for data analysis. Results: Age of patients was from 18 to 70 years old, with a Mean±SD (44.00 ±12.12) years. Males made up 47(15%) of the population, while females made up 267(85%). There were 33(10.5%) smokers and 281(89.5%) non-smokers. The mean IMT was 0.84±0.61, with 0.1mm and 2.05mm as the minimum and maximum, respectively. Subclinical atherosclerosis was found in 96 patients (30.6%) (p<0.05). SPSS 21 was used to enter and evaluate the data. Age, BMI, IMT, and disease duration were all expressed as a Mean±SD. Other parameters like gender, smoking, subclinical atherosclerosis be measured by frequency and percentage. Conclusion: Subclinical atherosclerosis is significantly higher in patients of psoriasis. Early detection and management can help to reduce risks of cardiovascular complications.
