Psoriatic disease is associated with systemic inflammation, endothelial activation, and altered haemostatic function

Abstract Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease, affecting approximately 2% of the general population, which can be accompanied by psoriatic arthritis (PsA). The condition has been associated with an increased cardiovascular burden. Hypercoagulability is a potential underl...
