2019, PsychoneuroendocrinologyCitation Excerpt :Between 10% and 50% of patients with an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) report an emotional trigger like mental stress or intense feelings within 2 h before symptom onset (Tofler et al., 1990; Willich et al., 1991; Tofler et al., 2017) with, for instance, outbursts of anger quadrupling the risk (Mostofsky et al., 2014).
Acute and Subacute Triggers of Cardiovascular Events
2018, American Journal of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :Numerous other acute triggers of CV events have been delineated (Table 4). Acute triggers are common: 48.5% of 849 patients with MI reported at least one possible trigger, including emotional upset (18.4%), moderate physical activity (14.1%), and heavy physical activity (8.7%); and others included lack of sleep and overeating.10 Physical activity increases the risk for MI11 and the increased risk is directly related to the amount of exertion.12
