Abstract
Objectives: we aimed to investigate the difference between anxiety and depression status among ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (STE-ACS) and non-ST-segment elevation ACS (NSTE-ACS) patients. Patients and methods: this study is a cross-sectional study that included 165 patients (132 males, 33 females; mean age: 59.3±10.5 years; range, 48 to 71 years) who were hospitalized with a final diagnosis of ACS (both NSTE-ACS and STE-ACS) between January 2019 and April 2019. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was used to measure the patients’ anxiety and depression status. Results: according to current European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines, 91 (55.2%) patients were classified as NSTE-ACS and 74 (44.8%) patients as STE-ACS. According to the HADS scores, 33 (20%) of the total study population had anxiety diagnoses, and 28 (17%) of them had depression . While the mean depression score was 4.8±4.9 for NSTE-ACS patients, it was 4.6±4.3 for STE-ACS patients (p=0.723). The mean anxiety score was 6.1±5.1 for NSTE-ACS patients and 5.6±4.5 for STE-ACS patients (p=0.546), which was similar between the two groups. Conclusion: although NSTE-ACS and STE-ACS are two different entities of ACS spectrum, patients hospitalized with these diagnoses have similar anxiety and depression scores.
