Subclinical Myocardial Dysfunction Assessment Using Speckle Tracking Echocardiography in Patients With Psoriasis: A Pilot Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Psoriasis is a systemic inflammatory disease associated with elevated cardiovascular risk due to inflammatory and oxidative stress. Two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) can detect both regional and global myocardial strain. Impairment of ventricular strain can assist in the early detection of myocardial dysfunction. Subclinical myocardial dysfunction in psoriasis has not yet been elucidated with inconsistent results.

Methods

A systematic literature search of various databases was conducted to identify studies comparing global longitudinal strain (GLS) and global circumferential strain (GCS) between patients with psoriasis and healthy controls. Standardized mean differences (SMD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were pooled using the inver
