High Perceived Stress May Shorten Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time and Lead to Worse Clinical Outcomes in Patients With Coronary Heart Disease.

ABSTRACT: Objective: To determine the association of perceived stress with coagulation function and their predictive values for clinical outcomes. Methods: This prospective cohort study derived from a cross-sectional study for investigating the psychological status of inpatients with suspicious coronary heart disease (CHD). In this study, the 10-item Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) as an optional questionnaire was used to assess the severity of perceived stress. Coagulation function tests, such as activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT), and fibrinogen were measured within 1 h after admission. Furthermore, 241 patients with CHD out of 705 consecutive inpatients were included in the analyses and followed with a median of 26 months for the clinical outcomes. Results: The pa
