It has been recently established that PsA and psoriasis are closely associated with the high prevalence of metabolic syndrome, hypertension, abdominal obesity, and a risk for cardiovascular diseases (CVD), including fatal myocardial infarction (MI) and acute cerebrovascular accidents, which shortens lifespan in the patients compared to the general population. The authors state their belief that the synergic effect of traditional risk factors (RFs) for CVD and systemic inflammation underlie the development of atherosclerosis in PsA. It is pointed out that the risk of CVD may be reduced not only provided that the traditional RFs for CVD are monitored, but also systemic inflammation is validly suppressed. The cardioprotective abilities of methotrexate and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) inhibitors are considered; the data of investigations showing that the treatment of PsA patients with TNF-α inhibitors results in a reduction in carotid artery intima-media thickness are given. It is noted that there is a need for the early monitoring of traditional RFs for CVD in patients with PsA and for the elaboration of interdisciplinary national guidelines.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Псориатический артрит (ПсА) — хроническое иммуноопосредованное заболевание, которое наблюдается у 8—30% больных псориазом. В последние годы установлено, что ПсА и псориаз тесно связаны с высокой распространенностью метаболического синдрома, артериальной гипертонии, абдоминального ожирения и риском развития сердечно-сосудистых заболеваний (ССЗ), включая фатальные инфаркты миокарда (ИМ) и острые нарушения мозгового кровообращения (ОНМК), что снижает продолжительность жизни больных по сравнению с общей популяцией. Высказано мнение, что при ПсА в основе развития атеросклероза лежит синергическое действие традиционных факторов риска (ФР) развития ССЗ и системного воспаления. Отмечено, что снижение риска развития ССЗ у больных ПсА возможно не только при условии мониторирования традиционных факторов ФР развития ССЗ, но и надежного подавления системного воспаления. Рассмотрены кардиопротективные возможности метотрексата и ингибиторов α-фактора некроза опухоли (α-ФНО), приведены данные исследований, в которых показано, что лечение больных ПсА ингибиторами α-ФНО приводит к уменьшению толщины комплекса интима—медиа сонных артерий. Отмечена необходимость раннего мониторирования традиционных ФР развития ССЗ у больных ПсА и создания междисциплинарных национальных рекомендаций.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>psoriatic arthritis</kwd><kwd>cardiovascular diseases</kwd><kwd>atherosclerosis</kwd><kwd>methotrexate</kwd><kwd>cardiovascular risk</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>псориатический артрит</kwd><kwd>сердечно-сосудистые заболевания</kwd><kwd>атеросклероз</kwd><kwd>метотрексат</kwd><kwd>риск развития ССЗ</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Koolaee RM, Takeshita J, Ogdie A.
