Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Feelings of vital exhaustion and depression, as measured by the Maastricht Questionnaire, are associated with an increased near-term risk of coronary events.
In this prospective study a psychological test (the "Maastricht Questionnaire') was constructed which measures feelings of vital exhaustion and depression. It is shown that those subjects who have elevated scores on this test have more chance to get a new coronary event within a period of 10 months than those who have low scores on this test.
