Do Nails Tell a Pulmonary Tale? A Cross-Sectional Study on Psoriasis and Pulmonary Hypertension Risk

NAPSI scores, PASI scores, and CRP levels are all significantly correlated with and independently predict PAH in patients with psoriasis. Assessment of nail psoriasis severity may serve as a valuable, noninvasive clinical tool to identify psoriasis patients at increased risk of pulmonary vascular complications, warranting further cardiological evaluation.

Abstract

NAPSI scores, PASI scores, and CRP levels are all significantly correlated with and independently predict PAH in patients with psoriasis. Assessment of nail psoriasis severity may serve as a valuable, noninvasive clinical tool to identify psoriasis patients at increased risk of pulmonary vascular complications, warranting further cardiological evaluation.
