Background: Despite the high rates of cardiovascular risk factors among people with bipolar disorder, little is known about the incidence of cardiovascular morbidity in this population.Methods: Based upon Ontario, Canada hospital discharge records from April 1, 2002 to March 31, 2006, we constructed a population-based cohort study to assess whether individuals diagnosed with bipolar disorder (n = 5999) would have a significantly greater risk of subsequent readmission with a cardiovascular condition in comparison to a matched population-proxy group of individuals receiving an appendicitis primary diagnosis. A Cox regression procedure was used to estimate group differences in time-to-readmission with a cardiovascular-related diagnosis. Patients were followed for a period up to 4 years.Results: The bipolar disorder group had a significantly greater adjusted risk of readmission for a cardiovascular event in comparison to individuals in the appendicitis group [adjusted hazard ratio (AHR) = 1.66, 95% CI, 1.37-2.07, p
