Background: Psoriasis being a multisystemic disorder has multiple systemic comorbidities apart from cutaneous manifestations including metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular diseases.
Aim: To study P-wave dispersion in patients of psoriasis.
Materials and Methods: A total of 71 patients who presented in the dermatology OPD with chronic plaque psoriasis were assessed for disease severity and their ECG was evaluated.
Results: In this study of 71 patients aged 15-60 years, a strong positive correlation was found between PASI score and P-wave dispersion (r=0.703, p=0.000) indicating a strong association between disease severity of psoriasis and development of cardiovascular diseases.
Conclusion: The P-wave dispersion was significantly higher in patients with high PASI scores. This indicates that the patients of psoriasis are at a higher risk of developing cardiovascular diseases like atrial fibrillation.
