Disease Activity and Increased Risk of Cardiovascular Death among Patients with Psoriatic Arthritis.

CONCLUSION: Patients with PsA had a small but significant increase in SMR for death due to diseases of the circulatory system compared with the general population. Among patients, death was associated with DAI, as well as axial involvement in combination with peripheral disease, indicating more aggressive disease phenotypes.
