anxiolytic/infarction

OBJECTIVE To examine the association of anxiety level and anxiolytic medication use with in-hospital complications in patients following acute myocardial infarction (AMI). BACKGROUND There are conflicting data about the protective effect of anxiolytic medication used in patients after acute

OBJECTIVE Anti-anxiety medication in patients with anxiety may lessen the stress and thereby lower their risk for myocardial infarction (MI). The aim of current study is to examine an association between the use of anti-anxiety medication and long-term mortality risk in patients following

OBJECTIVE Depression and anxiety after myocardial infarction (MI) are common and associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The epidemiology and pathophysiology of MI due to spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) differs substantially from atherosclerotic MI, and rates of mental

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) due to acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is mostly the result of ventricular fibrillation (VP) which is an electrical accident appearing on the basis of electrical instability of the myocardium. In addition to the chronic electrical instability predisposing to ventricular

OBJECTIVE Aim of this study is to evaluate the presence of peculiar personality traits in patients with acute myocardial infarction as compared with normal subjects. METHODS The Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16 PF) by Cattell (D form) is administered to 654 patients (558 males, 96

BACKGROUND Increased anxiety correlates with increased complications after acute myocardial infarction. Anxiety levels and use of anxiolytic agents have not been compared between smokers and nonsmokers hospitalized because of acute myocardial infarction. OBJECTIVE To compare anxiety level,

UNASSIGNED Evaluation of anxiety and depression in cardiac patients is an area of nursing practice that is frequently neglected. The aim of the study was to explore anxiety and depression in hospitalized patients with their first episode of acute myocardial infarction. UNASSIGNED The study sample

OBJECTIVE To assess the impact of myocardial infarction on quality of life in four year survivors compared to data from "community norms", and to determine factors associated with a poor quality of life. METHODS Cohort study based on the Nottingham heart attack register. METHODS Two district general

The subjects of the study were patients with acute myocardial infarction, who underwent prolonged transthoracic microelecrostimulation. The procedure had certain immediate effects, such as antinociceptive, anxiolytic, hypotensive, and somnific effect, lead to positive emotional shifts and

The cardiac rate and rhythm were studied by 24-hour ambulatory electrocardiographic recording in 44 patients before, during, and after being discharged from hospital following an acute myocardial infarction. The first recordings were started 48 hours before discharge, the second on the morning of

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of adaptol in a dose of 1500-2000 mg/day in combination therapy for anxiety disorders (AD) in the early post-myocardial infarction period. METHODS The trial included 94 patients with AD who were divided into a study group of 60 patients and a control

Stress testing was carried out by two stressors, mental arithmetic and Sacks-Levy's test in randomized sequence, in 64 male patients with a mean age of 51 +/- 7 years in NYHA Classes I or II within 3 months after acute myocardial infarction. The stress profile was obtained after drug withdrawal by

Sixty-six patients consecutively admitted to a Coronary Care Unit with a diagnosis of myocardial infarction were evaluated physically, psychologically, and neuroendocrinologically. Records were also kept of appetite and drug intake. Serum cortisol and growth hormone, physical, and mood variables

Experiments in narcotized rats showed the new selective anxiolytic afobazole, a derivative of 2-mercaptobenzimidazole, to cause a small bradycardia with almost no effect on the important parameters of heart hemodynamics and cardiac performance such as the arterial pressure, cardiac output, and mean

In coronary artery disease the patients usually manifest both anxiety and depression disturbances. A controlled clinical study was conducted to test the efficacy of a new antidepressant agent, maprotiline, in the early stages of acute myocardial infarction. The sample consisted of 126 patients,
