However, that may change as a result of a published report on almost 2,000 male veterans participating in a continuing study that began in 1986. Average age at the start of the study was 62 at which time none had a history of pre-existing heart problems. All subjects received periodic medical examinations as well as evaluation for symptoms of PTSD. During the 10-16 years of follow-up, 255 participants developed either fatal or non-fatal coronary events or anginal symptoms. Researchers reported that the number and severity of PTSD symptoms were significantly associated with deaths due to coronary heart disease as well as non-fatal heart attacks. The link with angina was not as strong.<\/p><p>These relationships persisted even when confounding influences such as depression, smoking, family history of heart disease, cholesterol levels and alcohol consumption were taken into consideration. Although the mechanism of action is not clear, PTSD is associated with increased levels of stress related hormones and fatty acids that can contribute to coronary heart disease and arterial damage. Since the study group was largely limited to older white men who served in the military, it is not known if similar results would be seen in women, nonwhite men or civilians. In addition, PTSD symptoms and severity data were derived from self-reports by the veterans, which may be less reliable than assessments based on interviews by qualified health professionals. Stress-related psychological problems are not uncommon in patients with coronary heart disease but it is often difficult to determine which came first.
