Systematic Review
Do patients with bipolar disorders have an increased risk of myocardial infarction? A systematic review and meta-analysis.
European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences 2023 December
OBJECTIVE: Research shows that patients with bipolar disorders (BD) may have an altered risk of cardiovascular diseases; however, the association between the two is not clear. In this study, we reviewed evidence on the association between BD and subsequent risk of myocardial infarction (MI).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Studies published on PubMed, Embase, Scopus, CENTRAL, and Web of Science were identified up to 30th August 2023. Random-effects meta-analysis was done to calculate the pooled odds ratio (OR).
RESULTS: A total of six studies with 19,862,894 individuals were included. Of these, 46,627 were diagnosed with BD (0.23%). The median follow-up of the studies varied from 7.6 to 20 years. Meta-analysis of all six studies showed that BD patients do not have a higher risk of MI as compared to the general population (OR: 1.36, 95% CI: 0.99, 1.86). The overall analysis had substantial heterogeneity with I2=86%. No publication bias was noted among the studies. Results did not change during sensitivity analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: Current evidence fails to show an association between BD and subsequent risk of MI. The high heterogeneity in the meta-analysis and lack of adjustment of all important confounders are significant limitations that need to be overcome by future studies.
