Cardiovascular risk factors in outpatients with bipolar disorder: a report from the Brazilian Research Network in Bipolar Disorder

Abstract: Objective: Bipolar disorder (BD) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality due to comorbid general medical conditions, particularly cardiovascular disease. This study is the first report of the Brazilian Research Network in Bipolar Disorder (BRN-BD) that aims to evaluate the prevalence and clinical correlates of cardiovascular risk factors among Brazilian patients with BD. Methods: A cross-sectional study of 159 patients with DSM-IV BD, 18 years or older, consecutively recruited from the Bipolar R… Show more

“…While there is consistent evidence showing the high prevalence of comorbid medical conditions in BD768, 769, 770, 771, 772, 773, 774 and the negative impact these diagnoses have on longevity,775, 776 these conditions frequently go undiagnosed or undertreated. In a large UK cross‐sectional analysis of electronic data sets involving 1.7 million patients in primary care, those diagnosed with BD, when compared with healthy controls, had lower rates of diagnoses (odds ratio [OR] 0.59, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.54‐0.63) and treatment of medical conditions, despite higher rates of one (OR 1.2, 95% CI 1.16‐1.39) or multiple illnesses (OR 1.44, 95% CI 1.3‐1.64) 769…”

“…25 Hence, it appears that this family carries simultaneously mild FH and some components of the MS, mainly carbohydrate dysregulation, expressed as abnormal fasting blood glucose levels and HOMA-IR indices. The MS is frequently observed in subjects with BD, [1][2][3][4] but the association between FH and BD has so far not been explored.…”

“…A consistent finding is the high frequency of abnormal triglyceride and low HDL-c levels, as defined in the MS criteria. [1][2][3][4]7,8 As a matter of fact, this profile, along with abnormal WC and insulin levels, accounts for most of the metabolic differences observed between psychiatric and internal medicine patients. 26 Total and LDL-c levels are not formally included in the MS criteria and are often unreported, but they are among the strongest predictors of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases.…”
