Scientists probe hidden heart danger in PTSD

NCT ID NCT03778307

Summary

This study aimed to understand why people with PTSD have a higher risk of heart disease. Researchers measured blood vessel health in 168 adults with a history of trauma, half of whom had PTSD. The goal was to see if specific aspects of PTSD, like fear, are linked to early signs of blood vessel damage that can lead to heart problems.
