Core Tip Psoriasis is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease. The pathogenic mechanisms shared by the two diseases seem to converge onto “inflammation” phenomenon. Platelets have a potent role in inflammation. Herein we evaluated platelet activation in psoriasis patients compared to healthy controls, and investigated a potential association between platelet activation markers and the inflammatory burden of psoriasis, the latter assessed by serum levels of pivotal pro-inflammatory cytokines implicated in psoriasis. We conclude that the association between psoriasis and atherosclerosis may be related to excessive platelet-derived microparticles (PMPs) formation. The size class of PMPs was taken into consideration in our study.
