Abstract

A close association between anxiety disorder and sudden death is known. If any underlying heart disease exists, it is easy to discuss this association. If it does not, it is difficult to explain anxiety disorder as a cause of sudden death. In case of acute anxiety, many complicated physiologic events, which have capacity of contributing to sudden death, occur. On the other hand, accelerated atherosclerosis ensues in the case of chronic anxiety, and the latter increases vulnerability to sudden death through development of coronary events.

Özet

Anksiyete bozuklukları ile ani ölüm arasında yakın bir ilişki olduğu bilinmektedir. Bu ilişkiyi altta yatan bir kalp hastalığı olduğunda yorumlamak kolay olsa da sağlıklı bireylerde de anksiyete bozukluğu sonucu ani ölümün gelişebileceği konusu tartışmalıdır. Akut anksiyete durumunda ortaya çıkan karmaşık birçok fizyolojik olay ani ölümün oluşumuna katkıda bulunacak niteliktedir. Süreğen anksiyete durumlarında ise ateroskleroz gelişimi hızlanarak ani ölümün tetiklenebileceği bir durum oluşur.
