Methods: This single-center observational study assessed cardiovascular risk factors in 77 adult male patients with psoriasis compared with a control group. All participants underwent echocardiography to evaluate left ventricular diastolic function. Results: Patients with psoriasis had a higher body mass index (BMI) (p = 0.062), elevated C-reactive protein levels (p &lt; 0.001), and more frequent hypertension (p = 0.001). Past and current smoking was significantly more common in the psoriasis group (p &lt; 0.05). Echocardiographic parameters were generally higher in psoriasis patients, particularly the left atrial volume index (LAVI) (median 23.72 vs. 19.5 mL\/m2; p &lt; 0.01) and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) (median 99.84 vs. 93.70 g\/m2; p &lt; 0.05). Subclinical cardiac damage occurred more frequently in psoriasis patients (OR = 3.37, 95% CI: 1.39\u20139.1), remaining significant after adjustment for hypertension, smoking, and BMI (OR = 2.77, 95% CI: 1.07\u20137.83). Logistic regression indicated that cardiac damage was associated with age, hypertension, and antihypertensive use. Psoriasis independently increased the risk of subclinical cardiac damage after adjustment for age and hypertension. Conclusion: Patients with psoriasis should be screened early for cardiovascular disease and preventive strategies introduced to reduce long-term risk.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000550444","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,29]],"date-time":"2026-01-29T17:00:50Z","timestamp":1769706050000},"page":"310-318","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Assessment of Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Selected Echocardiographic Parameters in Male Patients with Psoriasis"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"242","author":[{"given":"Sylwia","family":"Adamczyk","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Micha\u0142","family":"Miszczak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aldona","family":"Pietrzak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.m1590"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cca.2008.04.005"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fcvm.2022.829709"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s13555-024-01098-z"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.hrthm.2023.09.010"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cpcardiol.2024.102538"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ddg.14124_g"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/cvr\/cvab231"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/bcp.15041"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1253\/circj.cj-09-0161"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00296-019-04461-y"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.atherosclerosis.2016.10.016"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacc.2023.05.035"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1468-3083.2008.02936.x"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/jid.2013.131"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/art.42079"},{"key":"ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamadermatol.2021.4723"},{"key":"ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/bcp.15060"},{"key":"ref19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamacardio.2019.0179"},{"key":"ref20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2007\/78454"},{"key":"ref21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1468-3083.2007.02260.x"},{"key":"ref22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-5945-12-20"},{"key":"ref23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaci.2024.05.008"},{"key":"ref24","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/eurheartj\/ehab368"},{"key":"ref25","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5935\/abc.20190123"},{"key":"ref26","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7759\/cureus.2195"},{"key":"ref27","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00403-015-1586-7"},{"key":"ref28","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/dth.13628"},{"key":"ref29","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.20452\/pamw.4301"},{"key":"ref30","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2024.01.078"},{"key":"ref31","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11883-021-00963-y"},{"key":"ref32","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s40257-024-00887-8"},{"key":"ref33","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.20452\/pamw.16105"}],"container-title":["Dermatology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article-pdf\/doi\/10.1159\/000550444","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,8]],"date-time":"2026-06-08T16:04:27Z","timestamp":1780934667000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000550444"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,29]]},"references-count":33,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,8]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,10]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000550444","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{"is-supplemented-by":[{"id-type":"doi","id":"10.6084\/m9.figshare.31176388","asserted-by":"subject"}]},"ISSN":["1018-8665","1421-9832"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1018-8665","type":"print"},{"value":"1421-9832","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,29]]}}}
