Key result
Patients with severe mental illness are at increased risk of early-onset coronary artery disease but are less likely to receive evidence-based management and invasive revascularization compared to the general population.
Why the study?
Patients with severe mental illness face reduced life expectancy primarily due to cardiovascular disease and have worse post-ACS prognosis despite lower rates of invasive treatment.
Population
Patients with severe mental illness, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder

Alerts clinicians to CAD disparities in severe mental illness; extends literature on barriers but leaves optimal strategies open.
Patients with severe mental illness are at high risk for early-onset coronary artery disease but face significant systemic and biological barriers to receiving standard invasive management and secondary prevention, highlighting a critical treatment gap.
To et al. (2023) conducted a review in Coronary Artery Disease in Severe Mental Illness. Severe mental illness vs. General population was evaluated. Patients with severe mental illness are at increased risk of early-onset coronary artery disease but are less likely to receive evidence-based management and invasive revascularization compared to the general population.
