Why the study?
Is child maltreatment associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes and autonomic regulation in an urban population?
Is child maltreatment associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes and autonomic regulation in an urban population?
Child maltreatment is associated with self-reported adverse cardiovascular outcomes, highlighting the potential long-term cardiovascular impact of adverse childhood experiences.

May warrant ACE screening in urban CV risk assessment; leaves open causality and autonomic mechanisms.
In a large, multi-ethnic urban-population cohort study we observed a positive association between number of endorsed child maltreatment types and self-reported aCVO but not autonomic regulation, over and above the effect of relevant demographic, health, and psychological factors. Future studies should examine the potential role of the dynamics of autonomic dysregulation as potential underlying biological pathways in the association between ACEs and CVD, as this could eventually facilitate the development of preventive and therapeutic strategies for CVD.
