Hidradenitis Suppurativa is Associated with Myocardial Infarction, but Not Stroke or Peripheral Arterial Disease of Lower Extremities

Abstract

We performed a comparative cross-sectional study of the potential association of HS and the three outcome events: self-reported MI, self-reported stroke, and PAD measured by ankle-brachial index (ABI) ≤ 0.9. We included a self-reported HS group (n=430) identified in the general suburban population study (GESUS) using a validated questionnaire ²(Table 1).The control group comprised participants from GESUS without HS, n=20,780.
