Prevalence and Predictors of Depression and Anxiety Among Survivors of Myocardial Infarction Due to Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection

Abstract

Symptoms of depression/anxiety are common in patients with MI due to SCAD, particularly younger women and those with peripartum SCAD. The PHQ-9 and GAD-7 assessments may detect depression/anxiety in SCAD survivors who do not self-report these disorders, suggesting a role for routine screening in these patients.
