Hidradenitis suppurativa linked to MI and stroke

Patients with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) are at an increased risk of stroke and MI, results of a US study suggest.
Furthermore, the excess risk seems to be particularly in younger patients, the researchers say.
The researchers examined a US database of more than 56 million people and identified nearly 50,000 who had HS.
Three-quarters were women, and the mean age was 38 years. More than 1.4 million patients without HS served as controls.
