Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the prevalence and severity of CAD (coronary artery disease) in patients with and without severe psoriasis, otherwise matched for cardiovascular risk factors.

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
