Оценка результатов инструментальных исследований у больных псориатическим артритом с кардиоваскулярной патологией

Abstract

: To evaluate the results of instrumental studies in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) with cardiovas cular pathology. Material and methods: 125 individuals took part in the study and signed informed written consent. All patients were divided into three groups depending on the presence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and PsA. Group 1 included 62 patients with PsA complicated by CVD, Group 2 included 32 patients with PsA without concomitant CVD. The comparison group consisted of 31 patients with obvious signs of CVD without PsA. Results: In patients with PsA, coronary heart disease and arterial hypertension occupy a special place, since in real clinical practice they are objec tively traceable markers of cardiovascular pathology in PsA. Conclusions: For a comprehensive assessment of the state of the cardiovascular system in patients, it is necessary to use such functional research methods as ECG, EchoCG and duplex examination of the carotid arteries
