Exhaustion is Associated With Low Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor Expression in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease
Objective: Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), a protein secreted by immune cells and the pituitary gland, may be associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) and the mental state of coronary patients. The first origin of MIF suggests positive, the second negative associations. The aim of this study was to explore the direction of the association of MIF with CAD and of MIF with exhaustion, if any. Methods: Participants were 194 patient…
Effects of Treating Exhaustion in Angioplasty Patients on New Coronary Events
BACKGROUND: Extreme fatigue is a common complaint in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) patients, and is associated with an increased risk for new cardiac events. The objective of the Exhaustion Intervention Trial (EXIT) was to determine whether a behavioral intervention on exhaustion reduces the risk of a new coronary event after PCI. METHODS AND RESULTS: Seven hundred ten consecutive patients, ages 35 to 68 years, who felt exhausted after…
Inflammation, Depressive Symptomatology, and Coronary Artery Disease
OBJECTIVE: Many patients feel exhausted or depressed before the onset of an acute coronary event, but little is known about the origin of these feelings. We tested the hypothesis that the depressive symptomatology is associated with a reactivation of latent viruses and inflammation of a coronary vessel. METHODS: A blood sample was drawn and a biopsy sample was obtained from the coronary lesion of 15 exhausted and 15 nonexhausted patients treated …
Vital exhaustion predicts new cardiac events after successful coronary angioplasty
Excessive tiredness is one of the most prevalent premonitory symptoms of myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac death. This state is labelled as vital exhaustion and consists of three components: fatigue, increased irritability, and demoralization. Vital exhaustion has been found to be an independent risk-indicator of myocardial infarction in one prospective study and several case-control studies. It is as yet unclear whether the association be…
