Why the study?
Do behavioral and emotional triggers elicit acute coronary syndromes in vulnerable individuals?
Do behavioral and emotional triggers elicit acute coronary syndromes in vulnerable individuals?
This systematic review highlights that while behavioral and emotional factors are probable triggers for ACS, translating this pathophysiological understanding into patient benefit remains a challenge.
Warrants trigger assessment in vulnerable patients; leaves open whether modification improves ACS outcomes.
Behavioral and emotional factors are probable triggers of acute coronary syndromes in vulnerable individuals, and the pathophysiological processes elicited by these stimuli are being increasingly understood. The benefits to patients of knowledge to these processes have yet to accrue.
