Association between myocardial flow reserve and PTSD status assessed longitudinally taking into account current PTSD status at each time point. Never PTSD: no lifetime or current PTSD at Visit 1 and no current PTSD at Visit 2. Remitted PTSD: lifetime or current PTSD at Visit 1 and no current PTSD at Visit 2. Current, Not Chronic PTSD: no current PTSD at Visit 1 but current PTSD at Visit 2. Current, Chronic PTSD: current PTSD at both Visit 1 and Visit 2.

Top Panel: Mean (± standard error) myocardial flow reserve at visit 2.

Bottom Panel: Mean (± standard error) change in myocardial flow reserve between Visit 1 and Visit 2, expressed as number of standard deviations (a negative value indicated a decline in MFR). All data adjusted for age, current and past smoking, BMI, physical activity (Baecke score), history of hypertension, history of coronary disease, and statin use. All models for the analysis of change in MFR also adjusted for Visit 1 MFR.

Abbreviations: PTSD: posttraumatic stress disorder; MFR: myocardial flow reserve.
