Abstract:
A 47-year-old man presented with angina pectoris complaints in the chest pain unit. Due to psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis he had been systemically treated for 4 years. Because of an increased cardiovascular risk profile, coronary heart disease (CHD) was suspected and an invasive coronary diagnosis was performed. In the cardiac catheterization, CHD could be detected and treated in the same session. The risk of CHD in patients with psoriasis is increased due to a higher incidence of risk factors but also the disease itself. Patients with psoriasis should regularly undergo cardiovascular risk screening.
