Hypothesis-generating for anxiety screening in ACS with prior IHD; prospective studies needed before practice change.
Background and purpose: Anxiety is a common condition among acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. This syndrome often goes unrecognised and can persist for months to years, while impacting substantially the quality of life. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the associated factor of anxiety among ACS patients in Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) and Hospital Sultanah Nur Zahirah (HSNZ).

Wan-Nor-Asyikeen et al. (2017) conducted a cross-sectional in Acute Coronary Syndrome (n=400). History of ischemic heart disease vs. No history of ischemic heart disease was evaluated on Anxiety (assessed via DASS-21) (adjusted OR 2.20, 95% CI 1.19-4.10, p=0.013). A history of ischemic heart disease was significantly associated with increased odds of anxiety among acute coronary syndrome patients (adjusted OR 2.20).
