Emotional triggers of acute coronary syndromes: strength of evidence, biological processes, and clinical implications
Prog Cardiovasc Dis.
2007 Mar-Apr.
Abstract
Emotional triggers of acute coronary syndromes include population-level events such as earthquakes and terrorist attacks, and individual experiences of acute anger, stress and depression. The methodology of studying emotional triggers has developed markedly over recent years, though limitations remain. The biological processes underlying triggering include acute autonomic dysregulation, neuroendocrine activation, hemostatic and inflammatory responses which, when associated with plaque disruption, promote myocardial ischemia, cardiac dysrhythmia and thrombosis formation. Prevention and management strategies for ameliorating emotional triggering remain to be effectively developed.
