Association of Rosacea With Cardiovascular Disease: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT: Background There is emerging evidence that rosacea, a chronic cutaneous inflammatory disease, is associated with various systemic diseases. However, its association with cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains controversial. We aimed to investigate whether patients with rosacea are at increased risk of developing CVD.
