9798 —Hidradenitis suppurativa is associated with increased odds of stroke, coronary artery disease, heart failure, and PAD: A population-based analysis in the United States

Introduction: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and psoriasis has been linked to cardiovascular disease. There is currently a deficiency in the literature regarding the prevalence of clinically important cardiovascular diseases that arise in patients with HS in a United States population. We sought to determine the odds of stroke, coronary artery disease (CAD), heart failure (HF), and peripheral artery disease (PAD) in patients with HS compared with patients with psoriasis and controls.
