A Cross-Sectional Examination of Changes in Anxiety Early After Acute Myocardial Infarction

Abstract

Anxiety is common after AMI. The assessment and treatment of anxiety early after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is important because anxiety is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Few data exist about anxiety early after AMI, the time when anxiety likely peaks. Furthermore, no researchers have evaluated potential gender differences in the evolution of anxiety after AMI. The purpose of this study was to investigate the evolution of anxiety during the first 72 hours of hospitalization for AMI and to examine whether there is a gender difference in the pattern of anxiety early after AMI.
