AbstractIntroductionA large body of evidence indicates a significant and morbid association between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Few studies, however, have addressed the range of trauma in this medical population, from massive heart attack, to defibrillator shock to previous interpersonal aggression.ObjectiveThe main objective of this study was to examine the nature of trauma associated with the development of PTSD in CVD patients. More precisely, we were interested in knowing if trauma was medical in nature and whether cumulative trauma resulted in PTSD.MethodsWe performed a 1:3 case-control study. The authors compared CVD patients diagnosed with PTSD (n=37) to those with adjustment disorder (n=111) in terms of trauma/stressor types and medical and demographic characteristics.ResultsHalf (51%) of CVD patients suffering from PTSD had endured a medical trauma, 35% an external (non-medical) trauma, and 14% both. There were no significant differences with CVD patients diagnosed with adjustment disorder, 40% of them having experienced a medical stressor, 40% an external (non-medical) stressor and 20% both. Cumulative trauma was seen in only 19% of CVD patients suffering from PTSD. Traditional risk factors (female sex, younger age) were not prominent in CVD patients with PTSD as compared to those with adjustment disorder. Cases were, however, significantly more likely to have psychiatric antecedents and recent surgical interventions.ConclusionsBy uncovering characteristics of PTSD patients/trauma in CVD patients, this work will serve future research and clinical initiatives to better screen at-risk patients or at-risk medical situations.

Abstract Introduction This study investigated the association between resilience and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among Brazilian victims of urban violence. It also compared defense mechanisms, parental bonding, and childhood trauma between those who developed PTSD and those who did not. Methods This cross-sectional case-control study included 66 adult subjects exposed to recent urban violence in southern Brazil – 33 with PTSD and 33 healthy controls matched by sex and age – who were administered the Resilience Scale, Defense Style Questionnaire, Parental Bonding Instrument, and Childhood Trauma Questionnaire. The statistical tests used were the McNemar test for categorical variables, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test for continuous asymmetric variables, and the paired Student t-test for continuous symmetric variables. Results The PTSD group showed lower total Resilience Scale scores compared with controls (128.4±20.7 vs. 145.8±13.1, respectively; p = 0.01), along with a lower ability to solve situations and lower personal values that give meaning to life (p = 0.019). They also had lower rates of mature defense mechanisms (p < 0.001) and higher rates of emotional (p = 0.001) and physical (p = 0.003) abuse during childhood. Conclusion Lower levels of resilience, especially the ability to solve situations and having personal values that give meaning to life, immature defense mechanisms, and emotional and physical abuse in childhood are associated with PTSD in adult Brazilian victims of urban violence.
