People with psoriasis have nearly three times the normal risk of stroke and abnormal heart rhythm, according to scientists in Denmark.

A study of 4.5 million people, published in the European Heart Journal, showed the highest risk was in young patients with severe psoriasis.

I think they need to do some further research as to whether its the psoriais, its treatment or a combination of the two that leads to an increased risk.
