Traumatic brain injury is associated with a larger risk for subsequent cardiovascular disease in women, despite cardiovascular disease being generally less common in females.
Is traumatic brain injury associated with a higher risk of subsequent cardiovascular disease in women compared to men?
Patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI)
Female sex
Male sex
Subsequent cardiovascular disease (CVD)
Women with traumatic brain injury have a disproportionately higher risk of subsequent cardiovascular disease, highlighting a need for targeted long-term cardiovascular care in this population.
We found that while CVD is less common in women, TBI is associated with a larger risk for subsequent CVD in women. Future work is needed to determine the etiology of this association to improve long-term care given the increase in female service members in combat.
