Overview

NCCP linked to higher depression/anxiety and poorer quality of life than cardiac chest pain; leaves open whether routine psychological screening improves evaluation or outcomes.

Structured PICO

Are depression, anxiety, and quality of life associated with the origin of chest pain (cardiac vs. non-cardiac)?

P
Population
210 participants from multiple medical centers across Shahrekord, Iran, divided into healthy controls (n=67), chest pain with cardiac origin (CCP) (n=70), and chest pain with non-cardiac origin (NCCP) (n=73).
O
