  • The Relation of Psychosocial Distress With Myocardial Perfusion and Stress-Induced Myocardial Ischemia

    Pratik Pimple, Muhammad Hammadah et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2019

    OBJECTIVE: Mental stress-induced myocardial ischemia is a frequent phenomenon in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). The link between an integrated measure of chronic psychosocial distress and mental stress-induced myocardial ischemia, and whether it differs by sex, has not been examined before. METHODS: We used latent class analysis to derive a composite measure of psychosocial distress integrating scales of depression, posttraumatic st…

  • The Mental Stress Ischemia Prognosis Study

    Muhammad Hammadah, Ibhar Al Mheid et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2017

    OBJECTIVE: Mental stress-induced myocardial ischemia (MSIMI) is a common phenomenon in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), but contemporary studies of its prognostic significance and its underlying pathophysiology are limited. METHODS: We prospectively enrolled patients with confirmed CAD in the Mental Stress Ischemia Prognosis Study (MIPS) between 2011 and 2014. All patients underwent mental stress testing using a standardized public sp…

  • Association of Vitamin D Status With Mental Stress–Induced Myocardial Ischemia in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease

    Ronnie Ramadan, Viola Vaccarino et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2014

    BACKGROUND: Mental stress-induced (MSIMI) or physical stress-induced (PSIMI) myocardial ischemia portends a worse prognosis in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Vitamin D insufficiency is associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes, but its relationship to myocardial ischemia remains unclear. We hypothesized that vitamin D insufficiency will be associated with a higher prevalence of myocardial ischemia in patients with CAD. METHODS…

  • Myocardial Ischemia and Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibition

    Ronnie Ramadan, Arshed A Quyyumi et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2013

    OBJECTIVE: Mental stress provokes myocardial ischemia in many patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD). Mental stress-induced myocardial ischemia (MSIMI) portends a worse prognosis, independent of standard cardiac risk factors or outcome of traditional physical stress testing. Angiotensin II plays a significant role in the physiological response to stress, but its role in MSIMI remains unknown. Our aim was to evaluate whether the use of…
