Posttraumatic stress disorder following myocardial infarction or coronary artery bypass grafting is a strong negative cardiovascular risk modifier associated with increased long-term cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
Posttraumatic stress disorder following myocardial infarction or CABG is a significant coronary risk factor associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and treatment.
Post traumatic stress disorder is a psychiatric disease that is usually precipitated by life threatening stressors. Myocardial infarction, especially in the young can count as one such event. The development of post traumatic stress after a coronary event not only adversely effects psychiatric health, but leads to increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. There is increasing evidence that like major depression, post traumatic stress disorder is also a strong coronary risk factor. Early diagnosis and treatment of this disease in patients with acute manifestations of coronary artery disease can improve patient outcomes.
