I'm looking for articles that discuss childhood trauma and heart disease in adults- the correlation between the two. Any suggestions?
Answer
A few items can be found by searching in PubMed using the terms you provided, "childhood trauma" and "heart disease" More items can be found using the medical term "coronary artery disease" instead of "heart disease". Here are some citations:

Any of the health science databases, SCOPUS, SCIENCE DIRECT or CINAHL would be useful for finding articles published in health science journals. Since this can be approached as a psychological topic or a medical topic, searching QuickSearch will search all the databases at the same time, giving you more robust results.
