Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Patients with severe psoriasis as determined by more than two episodes of systemic or inpatient treatment and 10% or more body surface area involvement.
  • Male or female ages 18 to 55 (because CAD risk has been shown to be greatest in younger psoriasis patients in earlier studies, this pilot study will focus on young individuals).
  • Able to give informed consent

Exclusion Criteria

  • Prior diagnosis of CAD (coronary artery disease) or heart disease based upon one or more of the following:
  • coronary arteriography
  • percutaneous coronary intervention
  • cardiac surgery including bypass graft surgery
  • valve surgery
  • congenital heart disease repair
  • stress ECG or imaging
  • myocardial infarction
  • angina or unstable angina
  • congestive heart failure
