Cumulative Inflammation and HbA1c Levels Correlate with Increased Intima-Media Thickness in Patients with Severe Hidradenitis Suppurativa
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that has been associated with a greater risk of metabolic and cardiovascular comorbidities. The aim of this study is to assess cardiovascular risk by means of intima-media thickness (IMT), metabolic syndrome, and other potential bi...
