Medscape (11/7, Stiles, Subscription Publication) reports researchers found that “of more than 100 patients who left a major tertiary care center after experiencing cardiac arrest, about 30% showed early signs of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The group with PTSD also showed a threefold increased adjusted risk for death or cardiac events over the next year compared with the rest.” The findings are scheduled to be presented “during the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions 2018.”
