Article Synopsis
- Psoriasis is linked to an increased risk of coronary artery disease, potentially through elevated levels of soluble LOX-1, a receptor that interacts with oxidized lipoproteins.
- A cohort study at the National Institutes of Health involved 175 psoriasis patients to analyze the relationship between soluble LOX-1 and noncalcified coronary burden over time.
- Results showed that psoriasis patients had higher levels of soluble LOX-1 compared to matched controls, suggesting a potential connection to cardiovascular risk.
