Cardiovascular diseases in patients with bipolar disease: Pragmatic management
Original language description
Background: Bipolar disorder (BD), also known as manic-depressive illness, is a condition characterized by unusual shifts in mood, energy, activity levels, and the ability to carry out day-to-day tasks. Bipolar disorder is known to be a chronic and disabling disease associated with higher incidence of obesity, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, dyslipidemias, hypertension and tobacco use which all together are known risk factors for the development of Cardiovascular diseases. With this research we wish to collect evidence to show how Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) affect Patients with Bipolar disease, the burden it can have in patients lives, to understand how this problem has been assessed so far and present suggestions that may improve the health care of these patients. Methods: Our study is a literature based research. Conclusion: with our study we concluded that patients with BD are at higher risk of CVD and at an earlier age compared with the general population. Also, there is a lack of proper monitoring and consideration of the cardiovascular risk factors in patients with Bipolar disorder whether by primary care physicians or psychiatrists even though it plays a critical role in the general outcome of this patients and also leads to increase in mortality and morbidity rates.
