Cardiovascular anomalies and evolutionary risk factors in schizophrenia - multifactorial approach.

Conclusions: An interdisciplinary approach is required between neurosciences and cardiology not only at the research level, but also in the clinical practice. Cardiac co-morbidity in subjects with schizophrenia may critically affect the survival rates of these patients. Moreover, the nature of the cardiac co-morbidity may guide the clinician in better understanding and differentiating functional psychoses from organic ones. The multifactorial approach can identify cardiovascular risk factors based on clinical, biological and neuroimaging markers. PMID: 32239085 [PubMed - in process]
