Key result
Study investigates ventricular repolarization markers in psoriasis but lacks quantitative results.
Why the study?
Cardiovascular diseases, including arrhythmias, tend to occur more frequently in patients with psoriasis, prompting investigation of new electrocardiographic markers of ventricular repolarization.
Does severe psoriasis alter electrocardiographic markers of ventricular repolarization compared to healthy controls?
Cross-Sectional
Does severe psoriasis alter electrocardiographic markers of ventricular repolarization compared to healthy controls?
Contrary to expectations, outpatients with severe psoriasis exhibited shorter ventricular repolarization parameters compared to controls, suggesting a complex relationship between chronic inflammation and arrhythmogenesis.
Shorter QT dispersion in severe psoriasis suggests no elevated repolarization risk; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before any clinical inference.

Schmitz et al. (2025) conducted a cross-sectional in Psoriasis. Psoriasis vs. Controls from a private outpatient clinic was evaluated on Electrocardiographic markers for assessing ventricular repolarization. The study investigated electrocardiographic markers of ventricular repolarization in patients with psoriasis, but quantitative results are not available in the truncated abstract.
