Perfect storm: concurrent stress and depressive symptoms increase risk of myocardial infarction or death.
A recently offered psychosocial perfect storm conceptual model hypothesizes amplified risk will occur in those with concurrent stress and depressive symptoms. The authors tested this hypothesis in a large sample of US adults with coronary heart disease. They found that those with low stress and high depressive symptoms or high stress and low depressive symptoms were not at increased risk, while participants with concurrent high stress and high depressive symptoms had increased risk for myocardial infarction or death relative to those with low stress and low depressive symptoms. They concluded that their results provide initial support for a psychosocial perfect storm conceptual model.
