Article Synopsis
- Patients with severe mental illness (SMI) show a higher cardiovascular risk (CVR) compared to the general population, but this risk varies among different SMI subgroups, such as schizophrenia and depression.
- A systematic review identified 35 studies involving over 12,000 psychiatric patients, using tools like the Framingham risk score to evaluate CVR; schizophrenia patients exhibited a significantly higher CVR than those with other disorders.
- Meta-analysis results indicated no significant difference in overall CVR between SMI patients and control groups, highlighting high variability among the studies included.
