Key result
Cutaneous signs such as petechiae, macules, purpura, lentigines, and rashes can help narrow the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases and guide appropriate treatment.
Why the study?
Although cutaneous manifestations of conditions like infectious endocarditis and acute rheumatic fever are established, other cardiovascular diseases presenting with cutaneous signs and their management strategies need evaluation.
Recognizing cutaneous manifestations of cardiovascular diseases can aid clinicians in narrowing diagnoses and guiding appropriate treatment.
Recognition of cutaneous CVD signs may aid diagnosis; leaves open systematic evaluation of additional associations.
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality and morbidity globally. Clinicians must know cutaneous signs of cardiovascular disease, including petechiae, macules, purpura, lentigines, and rashes. Although cutaneous manifestations of diseases like infectious endocarditis and acute rheumatic fever are well established, there is an indispensable need to evaluate other important cardiovascular diseases accompanied by cutaneous signs. Moreover, discussing the latest management strategies in this regard is equally imperative. This review discusses distinctive skin findings that help narrow the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases and recommendations on appropriate treatment.
