Adelaide: People who suffer from panic disorder are 47% more likely to develop
heart disease later in life, according to new University of Adelaide
research. In research published this month in the journal
Psychological Medicine,
researchers reviewed 12 studies, involving more than 1 million people
and approximately 58,000 coronary heart disease cases. The review found
panic disorder increased the risk of heart disease by up to 47% and the
risk of heart attack by 36%.
