An Innovative Protocol to Correlate Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) Exposure, Salivary Biomarkers and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD)
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a global public health epidemic that initiates/exacerbates negative health consequences over a victim ’s lifespan.1 The identification of IPV is often associated, with injuries to the head, neck, and face (HNF).2 Present/past exposure of IPV is shown to have a strong association with stress related health disparities. Little is known of the mechanisms that precipitate this phenomenon. Cardiovascul ar Disease (CVD), as a stress-induced health consequence, is the number one silent killer in the United States where only 13% perceive it as a health threat.
