Description
Geir Lorem and a team of co-authors screen heart attack patients for post traumatic stress in a 2023 study from Norway. A heart attack can feel life threatening, and many patients later show anxiety or low mood. The team ask how many of those cases reflect true post traumatic stress, and what drives it.
They invited patients from a long running health study who reported strong anxiety or low mood after a heart attack. About one in nine met the mark for probable post traumatic stress, a rate above the general level in Norway. Symptom severity rose with the total number of traumatic events in a life, not with the heart attack alone.
