Found a new association between eczema and heart disease

Researchers at Brown University found that, although previous studies claim to have, eczema actually does not increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Until now, about 7% of adults have eczema, it is also called atopic dermatitis associated with the risk of heart disease.

Dr. Aaron Drucker, assistant professor of dermatology at Warren Alpert School of Medicine, Brown said: 'In our latest study, people with eczema do not have any blood-related risks. pressure, type 2 diabetes, heart attack or stroke ' .

To this conclusion, the team analyzed online medical records of about 259,119 adults between the ages of 30-74 participating in Canada's Tomorrow Project.

The results showed that people with eczema had a risk of stroke only 0.079 times, blood pressure increased only 0.087 times, diabetes only 0.078 times, the risk of heart attack 0.087 times.

Drucker said: "It is important to clarify here: although we see a lower rate of these results with atopic dermatitis, we do not explain that atopic dermatitis is less dangerous. muscles suffer from these diseases' .

According to researchers, the previous theory shows that atopic dermatitis and eczema may be related to cardiovascular disease, possibly due to the association between psoriasis and cardiovascular disease.

Drucker said: There are many possibilities, the risk of cardiovascular disease increases because of psoriasis, psoriasis healing clinicians have been encouraged more actively to monitor and manage cardiovascular disease of Psoriasis patients.
