Key result
Physical exertion and anger triggered acute coronary syndrome onset, with a 3.50-fold risk for exertion (95% CI 1.37-10.6) and a 2.06-fold risk for anger (95% CI 1.12-3.92).

Relative Risk: 3.5 (95% CI 1.37–10.6)
Vigorous physical exertion and anger significantly increase the short-term risk of triggering an acute coronary syndrome, with distinct sociodemographic and clinical profiles associated with each trigger.
Strike et al. (2006) conducted a cohort in Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) (n=295). Physical exertion vs. Light or no activity was evaluated on Onset of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) (Risk 3.50, 95% CI 1.37-10.6). Physical exertion and anger triggered acute coronary syndrome onset, with a 3.50-fold risk for exertion (95% CI 1.37-10.6) and a 2.06-fold risk for anger (95% CI 1.12-3.92).
