I Ve Treated Veterans With Ptsd It S Time To Make Them Eligible For Researchers at the san francisco va medical center have found that vets suffering from ptsd have more than twice the risk of also having heart disease. there's no scientific explanation why. In a study of more than 8,000 veterans living in hawaii and the pacific islands, those with posttraumatic stress disorder had a nearly 50 percent greater risk of developing heart failure over about a seven year follow up period, compared with their non ptsd peers. the findings appear in the april 2015 issue of the american journal of public health.
Vietnam Veterans Still Dogged By Ptsd Ischemic heart disease—reduced blood flow to the heart—is the top cause of hospitalization among veterans who use va health care. research has linked chronic ptsd to higher rates of ischemia, along with other heart conditions. This review of the published literature highlights evidence from epidemiologic and clinical studies that persons with ptsd are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease including coronary heart disease and possibly stroke. Evidence for a strong link between ptsd and cardiovascular disease is compelling, and this review describes current clinical data linking ptsd to cardiovascular disease, via inflammation, autonomic dysfunction, and the renin angiotensin system. Post traumatic stress disorder (ptsd) more than doubles a veteran's risk of death from any cause and is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease, according to research presented.
Va Finds Ptsd Linked To Heart Disease Psychology Today Evidence for a strong link between ptsd and cardiovascular disease is compelling, and this review describes current clinical data linking ptsd to cardiovascular disease, via inflammation, autonomic dysfunction, and the renin angiotensin system. Post traumatic stress disorder (ptsd) more than doubles a veteran's risk of death from any cause and is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease, according to research presented. One research study explicitly links trauma and poor physical health, and even suggests that ptsd may be a precursor to cardiovascular disease. other study findings included: the plausible association between physical and mental health through ekg scans during physical activity. The u.s. department of veterans affairs estimates that 11 20 out of every 100 veterans experience post traumatic stress disorder — an overwhelming number. studies also show that veterans with ptsd have a high risk for cardiovascular diseases including hypertension and coronary artery disease (cad). Vietnam veterans who experienced posttraumatic stress disorder (ptsd) were twice as likely to die from heart disease as veterans without ptsd, a new geisinger study finds. Female veterans suffering from post traumatic stress disorder (ptsd) were substantially more likely to have ischemic heart disease than those without ptsd in a study presented at the american college of cardiology's annual scientific session together with world congress of cardiology (acc.20 wcc).
