Core Tip	Research has documented a significantly increased cardiovascular disese (CVD) risk in posttrauamtic stress disorder. The present paper is a review of recent research that examines cardiovascular and immune risk profiles of individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). First, we address the relatively new evidence that the risk factors commonly experienced in PTSD fit the profile of metabolic syndrome. Next we examine the findings concerning hypertension/blood pressure in particular. The literature on sympathetic and parasympathetic responsivity in PTSD is reviewed. Last, we discuss recent findings concerning immune functioning in PTSD that may have a bearing on the high rates of CVD and other illnesses.
