Blood pressure drugs linked with lower PTSD symptoms - Science Daily, 5/1/12 - "These data come from an observational study, not a randomized clinical trial, so it is important to limit our interpretation until larger, placebo-control, double-blinded trials can be performed ... Patients taking ACE inhibitors or ARBs had an approximately 30 percent decrease in PTSD symptom scores, but no significant differences were apparent for those taking other blood pressure medications, including beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, and diuretics. In particular, individuals taking ACE inhibitors or ARBs tended to have lower levels of hyperarousal and intrusive thoughts" - See telmisartan or ramipril at OffshoreRX.com.
Casualties of war: Wounded veterans more likely to die of coronary heart disease - Science Daily, 1/26/11 - "During the 28 year follow up , out of 412 deaths, 140 were due to coronary heart disease (CHD), making wounded veterans 1.7 times more likely to die from CHD than the comparison group ... those who had been wounded in action had a higher BMI, a greater history of self-reported depression and were more likely to be claiming disability pension. This also suggests that as well as increased risk of PTSD, physical trauma in early life may cause longstanding physiological implications"

Adrenergic Blockers Shortly After Trauma Can Block PTSD - Clinical Psychiatry News, 2/02
Highlights of the 51st Annual Meeting of the Canadian Psychiatric Association. - Medscape, 1/02 - "several recent studies conducted by Dr. Yehuda and her colleagues have reported that patients with PTSD demonstrate decreased cortisol levels, increased sensitivity of the HPA negative feedback inhibition, and an increased sensitization of the entire HPA axis.[5,6] Thus, PTSD develops as a result of alterations in the stress response system, and these alterations prevent a normal path of recovery. One possible explanation for this biological difference is that exposure to prior traumatic events may cause a sensitization to the present situation. This, in turn, causes the HPA axis to shut itself off prematurely, therefore preventing the proper regulation of other neurobiological systems and resulting in a cascade of biological consequences"
