Key result
Higher STAI score strongly correlates with higher SYNTAX I score in stable angina.
Why the study?
The relationship between SYNTAX-I, SYNTAX-II scores and anxiety levels measured by STAI in stable angina pectoris patients was not well established.
Cross-Sectional (n=150)
Blinded assessors
Effect estimate: r=0.757
Anxiety levels, as measured by the STAI score, are strongly correlated with the anatomical complexity of coronary artery disease (SYNTAX I score) in patients with stable angina pectoris.
May support anxiety assessment in stable angina; hypothesis-generating for links to CAD complexity, prospective data needed before practice change.

Mustafa Çelık (2019) conducted a cross-sectional in stable angina pectoris (n=150). State-trait anxiety inventory (STAI) score was evaluated on Relationship between STAI score and SYNTAX I score (r=0.757). State-trait anxiety inventory (STAI) score had a significant, strong, and positive correlation with SYNTAX I score (r=0.757) in patients with stable angina pectoris.
