PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS AND HEART HEALTH

PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS IMPACTS THE WHOLE BODY

PsA is more than joint pain. It causes systemic inflammation affecting the heart, skin, and eyes.

INFLAMMATION AND HEART HEALTH

Chronic inflammation damages blood vessels, accelerates plaque buildup, and increases stroke risk.

HIGHER STROKE RISK IN PSA

Studies show PsA patients have a 57% higher risk of ischemic stroke compared to the general population.

LOOK AT THE BLOG

WHY STROKE RISK INCREASES

Inflammation speeds up atherosclerosis, damages vessels, and increases clot formation.

COMORBIDITIES MAKE IT WORSE

Hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and high cholesterol increase stroke risk in PsA patients.

MEDICATIONS AND HEART RISK

NSAIDs may raise risk, while DMARDs and biologics can reduce inflammation and protect the heart.

RECOGNIZE STROKE SIGNS

Look for face drooping, arm weakness, speech issues, vision problems, and sudden headache. Act FAST!

PROTECT YOUR HEART

Regular heart checks, healthy diet, exercise, stress management, and controlling comorbidities lower stroke risk.
