Sažetak
In addition to the somatic consequences of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) that include different
levels of intolerance to exertion, incapacity for work, symptoms of chronic heart failure, angina
pectoris, the manifestation of various arrhythmias, etc., the development of a whole range of psychosomatic
and mental disorders is also possible already in the early subacute and chronic phases of the
disease, and if these mental disorders are not actively treated in a timely fashion they can contributed
to unwanted outcomes and increased mortality in this group of patients. ACS is associated with
chronic stress, anxiety, and depression and can be a trigger for later development of posttraumatic
stress disorder (PTSD) with an average prevalence rate of 15% in patients with ACS. Several studies
have shown that patients with symptoms of PTSD associated with ACS, especially if untreated, have
increased mortality and higher rates of myocardial reinfarction. Since PTSD associated with ACS or
cardiac surgery can be neglected or underestimated, the aim of this review was to raise awareness
about this issue that is present in everyday clinical practice.
