People with psoriatic arthritis tend to be young and therefore less likely to have a primary care physician on hand to manage cardiovascular risk factors associated with their PsA. That leaves it to rheumatologists to help these patients lower their blood lipid levels, manage their weight, and tend to other important heart disease risks, according to Dr. Christopher T. Ritchlin, Professor of Rheumatology, Medicine, and Allergy/Immunology and Director the Clinical Immunology Research Center, at the University of Rochester (N.Y.) School of Medicine and Dentistry. This interview was conducted at the annual Perspectives in Rheumatic Diseases conference.
