Anxiety, Depression and Risk of Acute Myocardial Infarction
Anxiety, Depression and Risk of Acute Myocardial Infarction
Our findings indicate that self-reported core psychological symptoms of depression and anxiety, especially if recurrent, are moderately associated with the AMI risk. We had some indication that these associations might partly reflect reverse causation (depression) or confounding from common chronic diseases (anxiety and mixed anxiety and depression).
