[New populations at increased cardiovascular risk: Cardiovascular disease in dermatological diseases].

The increased cardiovascular risk in some dermatological diseases has been demonstrated in recent decades. Diseases such as psoriasis and systemic lupus erythematosus are currently included in the guidelines for prevention of cardiovascular disease.
