Numerous studies have suggested a link between psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and comorbidities, in particular cardiovascular disease and metabolic comorbidities such as diabetes. The co-existence of these comorbidities is likely the result of systemic inflammation. In order to improve the health of patients with PsA and provide optimal care, these comorbidities must be addressed. However, little is known about how to improve metabolic and cardiovascular health in patients with PsA. In this perspective, we describe the research needs in the area of improving cardiovascular disease and metabolic comorbidities among patients with PsA.
众多研究表明银屑病关节炎(PsA)与合并症之间存在关联,尤其是心血管疾病以及如糖尿病等代谢性合并症。这些合并症的共存很可能是全身炎症的结果。为了改善PsA患者的健康状况并提供最佳护理,必须解决这些合并症。然而,对于如何改善PsA患者的代谢和心血管健康,我们知之甚少。从这个角度出发,我们描述了在改善PsA患者心血管疾病和代谢性合并症领域的研究需求。
