Abstract in brief

  • The study found that adults with ADHD have a significantly higher risk of developing various cardiovascular diseases, even after accounting for factors like age, sex, lifestyle, and other health conditions.
  • The increased risk was particularly notable for conditions such as cardiac arrest, hemorrhagic stroke, and peripheral vascular disease, with the association being stronger in males and younger adults.
  • While adjustments for other mental health issues and lifestyle factors reduced the strength of the link, they did not eliminate the increased risk, suggesting ADHD independently contributes to cardiovascular health risks.

@bioenergy_space ADHD people have altered heart asymmetry. I speculate that modern living combined with genetic "minor" heart conditions cause ADHD. ADHD "increases" risk for cardiovascular disease, even without the stimulants. https://t.co/eJBsZimIpf (AHS) https://t.co/XVrBnRwzPC (disease)

@Mumontherun01 @miffyjayne @oldgreynurse Putting aside the mental/emotional damage, I am now dealing with the physical effects of a lifetime of chronic stress. The same that killed my father age 48 (not uncommon in untreated ADHD). “Try harder to focus” is not just condescending, it’s dangerous. https://t.co/KGbkZRk3Lt
