Does experimentally induced mental stress induce platelet activation in patients with coronary artery disease?
Does experimentally induced mental stress induce platelet activation in patients with coronary artery disease?
Mental stress induces platelet activation in CAD patients, providing a potential mechanistic link between psychosocial factors and adverse cardiac outcomes.
Suggests mental stress as modifiable CAD pathway; hypothesis-generating and should not yet alter practice.
Experimentally induced mental stress induced platelet activation in patients with CAD. This mechanism may partially explain the link between psychosocial variables and the development of adverse cardiac outcomes in patients with CAD.
