Keep I’m mind that with psoriasis and other systemic
inflammatory diseases we need preventive measures
to avoid cardiovascular disease.
Our risk factors should be evaluated and we may need
to consider statins and lifestyle modifications.
Not all physicians are aware of the connection of autoimmunity and atherosclerosis.

I think my doctors do. I know I operate that way. Since I have type 1 diabetes, I operate as if I have severe cardiovascular disease, even though I don’t. I take a statin, eat very healthful diet, exercise daily, get regular labs, screen for problems. My carotid ultrasound showed no plaque, so my PC found that a good indication. I still may get Calcium Score next year. He thought the ultrasound for now was sufficient. I do need to work on stress situation.
