ABSTRACT

Recently,the relationship between psoriasis and coronary heart disease(CHD)have been casting close attention.It has been demonstrated that the prevalence of CHD in patients with psoriasis is more than one time higher than that of healthy people. Meanwhile,the prevalences of hypertension,diabetes mellitus, hyperlipoidemia and smoking in patients with psoriasis are higher than those of normal people,and some drugs for treatment of psoriasis may induce CHD.Therefore,the relationship between psoriasis and CHD is still unclear.In this paper,two cases of psoriasis complicated with CHD are reported,and the relationship between psoriasis and CHD is explored.
