Summary

People often experience the acute phase of a myocardial infarction as a stressful and traumatic event that seems lifethreatening. Such anxiety, pain and stress can lead to the development of posttraumatic stress disorder in the long run. Previous studies suggest that there might be a relevant percentage of people developing Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) after a myocardial infarction. Posttraumatic stress disorder is a risk factor for the development of coronary heart disease. The goal of this study is to detect the percentage of people that develop symptoms of anxiety, stress, and PTSD after an acute myocardial infarction.
