  • Everyday Discrimination and Mental Stress–Induced Myocardial Ischemia

    Izraelle I Mckinnon, Amit Shah et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2021

    OBJECTIVE: Mental stress-induced myocardial ischemia (MSIMI), a transient myocardial ischemic response to mental stress, is associated with poorer outcomes among patients with coronary heart disease and is more likely to occur among women. However, predictors of MSIMI are not well explored. The current study investigated the association between experiences of everyday discrimination and MSIMI among patients with recent myocardial ischemia and con…

  • 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…

  • Sex-Specific Association Between Coronary Artery Disease Severity and Myocardial Ischemia Induced by Mental Stress

    Zakaria Almuwaqqat, Samaah Sullivan et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2019

    OBJECTIVE: It is unclear whether mental stress-induced myocardial ischemia (MSIMI) is related to obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). We examined this question and contrasted results with ischemia induced by conventional stress testing (CSIMI). Because women are more susceptible to ischemia without coronary obstruction than men, we examined sex differences. METHODS: We studied 276 patients 61 years and younger with recent myocardial infarct…

  • Brain Correlates of Mental Stress-Induced Myocardial Ischemia

    J Douglas Bremner, Carolina Campanella et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2018

    OBJECTIVE: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, and despite important advances in our understanding of this disorder, the underlying mechanisms remain under investigation. Recently, increased attention has been placed on the role of behavioral factors such as emotional stress on CAD risk. Brain areas involved in memory and the stress response, including medial prefrontal cortex, insula, and parietal cortex, a…

  • 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…

  • Sex Differences in Mental Stress–Induced Myocardial Ischemia in Young Survivors of an Acute Myocardial Infarction

    Viola Vaccarino, Amit Shah et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2014

    OBJECTIVES: Emotional stress may disproportionally affect young women with ischemic heart disease. We sought to examine whether mental stress-induced myocardial ischemia (MSIMI), but not exercise-induced ischemia, is more common in young women with previous myocardial infarction (MI) than in men. METHODS: We studied 98 post-MI patients (49 women and 49 men) aged 38 to 60 years. Women and men were matched for age, MI type, and months since MI. Pat…

  • 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…
