Supplementary Material for: Assessment of Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Selected Echocardiographic Parameters in Male Patients with Psoriasis

Background: Psoriasis is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, including myocardial infarction and coronary artery disease. Material and methods: This single-centre observational study assessed cardiovascular risk factors in 77 adult male patients with psoriasis compared with a control group. All participants underwent echocardiography to evaluate left ventricular diastolic function. Results: Patients with psoriasis had a higher body mass index (BMI) (p=0.062), elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) levels (p
