High prevalence of posttraumatic stress in XXXX with primary @entity101 .

@entity1 @entity308 @entity101 @entity1005 @entity148
OBJECTIVE: @entity1005 ( @entity1005 ) is associated with a higher rate of @entity101 . However, data about prevalence rates of @entity1005 in @entity1 suffering from @entity101 as well as the relation to blood pressure (BP) control are lacking. METHODS: We recruited 145 @entity1 with primary @entity101 from March to November 2012 at the cardiologic outpatient clinic at Ulm University Medical Center. Symptoms of @entity1005 (assessed with the Posttraumatic Diagnostic Scale), perceived stress (Perceived Stress Scale; Trier Inventory for Chronic Stress), @entity308 and @entity148 ( @entity148 and @entity308 Scale) were assessed by self-report. Office BP was measured and medical data were collected. RESULTS: Criteria for a full @entity1005 syndrome were met by 13 @entity1 (9%). Posttraumatic stress was higher in the group of @entity1 with controlled (M=10.9, S.D.=9.8) than in those with uncontrolled @entity101 (M=3.9, S.D.=5.4; P<.001). In linear regression, only status of @entity101 control (beta=.39, P<.001) predicted posttraumatic stress significantly, even after controlling for important cofactors. CONCLUSIONS: @entity1005 is highly prevalent in @entity101 @entity1 , especially in those with controlled @entity101 . An explaining mechanism could be the higher use of health care by @entity1 suffering from @entity1005 . The mental needs of these @entity1 should be focused in addition to the well-established somatic care.
