![]() Dr. Rajan Bhatt has served as a cardiologist with the Spectrum Dermatology & Vein Center in Scottsdale, Arizona, since 2010. Always working to advance the field of heart-related medicine, Dr. Rajan Bhatt is a member of the American Heart Association. According to a recent study that appeared in Circulation, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Heart Association, children who suffer from abuse or experience other significant adversities have a higher risk of developing heart disease later in life. The study researchers found that children who experience traumatic situations are more likely to be obese, develop high blood pressure, and be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes--all of which are risk factors that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. One of the researchers who participated in this study, Shakira Suglia, Sc.D., noted the irony that these children, who already experience situations that are hard to fathom, are now faced with the further burden of being more likely to develop cardiovascular disease as they get older. The research highlights the need for interventions to help children in these situations so that they can have healthier futures.
