“…Existen actualmente abundantes datos como para afirmar que la depresión constituye un factor de riesgo de primer orden en relación con posibles complicaciones o la muerte tras el infarto de miocardio (Fielding, 1991;Óhman y Sundin, 1995;Bueno y Buceta, 1997;Glassman y Shapiro, 1998;Burg y Abrams, 2001). Diversos estudios han constatado que, en personas postinfartadas, e independientemente de la gravedad de la enfermedad cardíaca, la depresión se asocia a un mayor riesgo de muerte, arritmias ventriculares, recuperación incompleta, taquicardia ventricular, y recurrencia de nuevos eventos cardíacos.…”

En el presente estudio se revisa brevemente la literatura sobre la relación entre las emociones negativas y la enfermedad arterial coronaria (EAC). Numerosos estudios longitudinales y retrospectivos han puesto de relieve que la hostilidad y los síntomas o síndro-mes de ansiedad y depresión están positivamente relacionados con el inicio de la EAC o con la evolución clínica una vez que la EAC se ha producido. La depresión se ha relacionado de forma clara y consistente con la morbilidad y mortalidad asociados a la EAC, con independencia de la gravedad de la enfermedad y otros factores de riesgo. La evidencia sobre el papel de la depresión en el comienzo del la EAC es menos consistente, si bien un componente de la depresión, conocido como «agotamiento vital», podría estar particularmente involucrado. Existe evidencia preliminar y consistente sobre la implicación de la ansiedad en el inicio y evolución clínica de la EAC. Los datos sobre una posible asociación entre la hostilidad y el inicio de la EAC son limitados pero sugestivos. No existe evidencia fiable sobre la relación entre la hostilidad y el curso (evolución clínica) de la EAC. Existe información adicional que sugiere una estrecha relación entre la depresión (y/o ansiedad) y la calidad de vida en los pacientes que han sufrido infarto de miocardio. La no consideración de las relaciones que pueden darse entre los tres tipos de emociones podría explicar algunas de las inconsistencias que se han encontrado en la investigación sobre las emociones negativas y el trastorno cardiovascular.Palabras clave: ansiedad, depresión, hostilidad, emoción negativa, enfermedad arterial coronaria, infarto de miocardio, estrés. Negative emotions in cardiovascular disorder: A critical analysisThis study briefly reviews the literature on relationship between negative emotions and coronary heart disease (CHD). Numerous longitudinal and retrospective studies have found that hostility and symptoms or syndromes of anxiety and depression are positively related to the onset of CHD or to outcomes after CHD is manifest. Depression has been shown to be clearly related to morbidity and mortality after CHD, independent of disease severity and other risk factors. Evidence for a role of depression in the onset of CHD is quite mixed, although the «vital exhaustion» component could be relevant. Evidence that anxiety is involved in the onset of CHD as well as in outcomes after CHD is preliminary but strong. Evidence for an association between hostility and CHD is limited but suggestive. Hostility is not reliably related to morbidity or mortality after CHD. In addition, depression (and/or anxiety) after myocardial infarction appear to be powerfully related to later overall quality of life among survivors. Disregard of relationships between the three emotions may explain some unresolved issues and nuil findings in the research on negative emotions and cardiovascular disorder.

Background: Anxiety and depression are often found in cardiac patients, but also in the general population. Therefore, evaluation of these symptoms in patients requires a comparison with norm values. The purpose of this study was to explore differences between cardiac patients and the general population in age dependency of anxiety and depression, and to discuss possible reasons for these differences. Methods: A sample of German cardiac patients (n = 2,696) and a sample of the German general population (n = 2,037) were tested using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Results: While we confirmed a linear age trend of anxiety and depression in the general population, we observed an inverted U-shaped age dependency in the patient sample. Young patients are especially affected by anxiety and depression. Five items of the HADS that mainly contributed to the age differences were identified. Formal characteristics of these 5 items could not explain the age differences. Concerning the meaning of the items, however, most of the items refer to worrying about the future. Conclusions: The relatively low rates of anxiety and depression in older patients (compared with the general population) indicate that adaptation processes took place, which should be taken into account in studies concerning the psychological status of patients. Young patients need special attention when dealing with mental distress.
