Results\: Both groups ie. psoriatic patients \(37,4 ± 2,0 yrs.\) and controls \(36,4 ± 2,0 yrs.\) had no age difference \(p> 0,05\). Mean body mass index was higher for psoriatic patients \(26,2 ± 0,6 kg\/m²\) than for controls \(23.95 ± 0.65 kg\/m², p< 0.001\). Heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressures were similar in both groups. Cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels in psoriatic patients were higher than in controls. Mean concentration of white blood cells was on the same level in both psoriatic and control groups but percentage of lymphocytes in blood smear in psoriatic group was lower than in control group. Additionaly in psoriatic vulgaris group independently on SCORE rate the percentage of basophiles in blood smear was higher than in control group with SCORE rate below 2% and in psoriatic arthritis group with SCORE rate over 5%. When PWV values were compared patients with SCORE rate below 2% and psoriatic arthritis \( mean PWV = 9,38±0,54m\/s\) and psoriasis vulgaris \(mean PWV = 9,0±0,44 m\/s\) had higher values than controls with the same SCORE rate \( mean PWV = 7,6±0,34 m\/s\), p< 0,001. \; The duration of psoriasis had a strong positive correlation with aortic PWV. Left ventricular diastolic diameter \(LVIDd\) in echocardiographic examination for whole psoriatic group was significantly higher than in contr"]
