Abstract
To investigate risk for cardiovascular disease in patients with GAD, as well as the effects of comorbid major depression (MD). Predrug-trial serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels were assessed in 38 patients with pure GAD and compared with those of 21 patients with mixed GAD and comorbid (MD). Significantly higher cholesterol and triglyceride levels were found in the GAD group. Increased noradrenergic activity may be responsible for elevations in lipid levels in patients with pure GAD.
