Abstract Objective: The purpose of this analysis was to evaluate cardiovascular profile of military veterans with confirmed diagnosis of PTSD Design and method: We evaluated cardiovascular risk of military veterans in relation to their history of combat exposure and targeted a specific group of veterans with confirmed diagnosis of PTSD. All subjects underwent physical examination which included measurement of vital signs. Blood pressure was measured using Omron M6 device, central BP and PWV were determined by MobiloGraph. CV risk was calculated using Heart Score chart for high-risk countries. Results: Mean age was 53,40 ± 6,95. 90,0% were active or former tobacco users, while 20,0% drank alcohol. Mean cholesterol level was 5,89 ± 1,36; mean levels of LDL and triglycerides were 3,65 ± 1,35 and 1,81 ± 0,75 respectively. Body mass index mean was 28,25 ± 4,02. 10,0% of all subjects had left ventricular hypertrophy. Mean value for Pulse Wave Velocity was 8,90 ± 1,03. Average value measured in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 98,20 ± 11,73. 30,0% had diabetes; 10,0% had coronary heart disease; 10,0% had previous myocardial infarction. Analysis showed 40,0% of PTSD veterans had hypertension, 20,0% had well controlled hypertension with pharmacotherapy while10% had uncontrolled but treated hypertension. 60,0% of PTSD military veterans had resting heart rate below 80/min, 10,0% had heart rate between 80 and 84/min and 30,0% had heart rate equal or higher than 85/min. Conclusions: There is limited data regarding cardiovascular risk in veterans with history of PTSD. A possible explanation for insufficient data is veterans’ avoidance of Croatian healthcare system due to social stigma associated with PTSD. Veterans prefer to obtain support and assistance through various veterans’ associations and religious organizations. Eliminating stigma around PTSD, its’ early detection and appropriate treatment could improve registration of veterans with Croatian healthcare system and allow better understanding of their cardiovascular profile while ensuring optimal management of their cardiovascular risks.
