Mental Stress-Induced Myocardial Ischemia - Springer To summarize recent evidence on mental stress-induced myocardial ischemia (MSIMI), its mechanisms, and clinical significance MSIMI can occur in patients with normal cardiac stress testing, is only weakly related to severity of coronary artery disease (CAD), and it is often silent
Emotional Stress and Physical Exertion as Triggers of Acute Myocardial . . . We found that previous chest pain was associated with perceiving emotional stress but not physical exertion as a trigger, suggesting that these patients were possibly avoiding physical exertion to prevent further chest pain but had more difficulty avoiding emotional stress
Association of Mental Stress–Induced Myocardial Ischemia With . . . Among patients with stable coronary heart disease, the presence of mental stress–induced ischemia, compared with no mental stress–induced ischemia, was significantly associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular death or nonfatal myocardial infarction
Investigating the association between stressful life events and the . . . Psychosocial stress is increasingly recognized as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease However, the long-term impact of cumulative stressful life events on the risk of myocardial infarction (MI) and mortality in the general population remains underexplored
Chronic Stress and Risks for Myocardial Infarction in U. S. Adults Long-term exposure to stress has been linked to multiple behavioral and biological responses that are detrimental to cardiovascular health, but the association between chronic stress and risks for acute myocardial infarction (MI) remains unknown
Psychological Stress and Heart Disease: Fact or Folklore? In this review, the study data supporting associations between stress and cardiovascular risk, as well as potential mechanisms by which psychological stress might contribute to heart disease and precipitate myocardial ischemia and infarction, are critically reviewed and summarized
Mental Stress and Cardiovascular Health—Part I - PMC While the response to acute mental stress may result in acute coronary events, the relationship of chronic stress with increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) is mainly due to acceleration of atherosclerosis
Mental Stress–Induced Myocardial Ischemia - JAMA Network In summary, the study by Vaccarino and colleagues provides compelling evidence demonstrating a strong association between mental stress ischemia and the risk of future cardiac events and mortality among individuals with stable CHD
