Where borders meet: Psoriasic arthritis and the cardiovascular risk [PDF]
Objective: we aimed to estimate the long-term global cardiovascular risk (GCVR) in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and to identify factors correlated with this risk among traditional and non-traditional risk factors.

Plasma testosterone is associated with Framingham risk score
The Framingham risk score predicts a patient's 10-year risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Many risk factors included in its calculation influence or are influenced by circulating testosterone. To investigate the possible association between testosterone and cardiovascular risk, as defined by the Framingham score, a Veterans Affairs (VA ...
