Description
Summary:<p dir="ltr">Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality and morbidity globally. Clinicians must know cutaneous signs of cardiovascular disease, including petechiae, macules, purpura, lentigines, and rashes.

This review discusses distinctive skin findings that help narrow the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases and recommendations on appropriate treatment.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: Open Medicine<br>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0" target="_blank">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1515/med-2024-0897" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.1515/med-2024-0897</a></p>
