- Title
Systematic review of early cardiometabolic outcomes of the first treated episode of psychosis.
- Authors
Foley, Debra L; Morley, Katherine I
- Abstract
The increased mortality associated with schizophrenia is largely due to cardiovascular disease. Treatment with antipsychotics is associated with weight gain and changes in other cardiovascular risk factors. Early identification of modifiable cardiovascular risk factors is a clinical imperative but prospective longitudinal studies of the early cardiometabolic adverse effects of antipsychotic drug treatment other than weight gain have not been previously reviewed.
