Psoriasis Affects the Occurrence of Atrial Fibrillation and Possible Mechanisms
Atrial fibrillation is the most common tachyarrhythmia,and the inflammatory reaction can participate in the induction and maintenance of atrial fibrillation by affecting atrial structural remodeling and electrical remodeling.Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease that can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease development through an immune-mediated systemic inflammatory reaction.Some clinical studies have found that the risk of psoriasis and atrial fibrillation is related,which is related to the infiltration of various immune cells and increased expression of cytokines,causing abnormal atrial electrical-mechanical activity,endocrine dyscrasia and environmental disorder in the body,thus inducing the occurrence of atrial fibrillation.
