Cardiac structure and function in psoriasis: A cross‐sectional analysis of the PSOCADIA study
Individuals with well‐treated psoriasis exhibited a higher burden of myocardial dysfunction (GLS < 16%) compared with controls, independent of cardiometabolic comorbidity. The prevalence was similar across psoriasis severity, highlighting the importance of cardiovascular assessment in all patients with psoriasis. Abstract Background Psoriasis is linked

Frailty and Five‐Year Mortality After TAVR in Patients Aged 75 Years and Older
In patients aged 75 years and older undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement, frailty assessed by the Clinical Frailty Scale was the most robust geriatric factor independently associated with five‐year mortality. This study highlights the specific prognostic value of frailty beyond short‐term outcomes.
