TI  - Pain intensity in nondiabetic patients with myocardial infarction or unstable 
      angina. Its association with clinical and psychological features.
PG  - 165-9
AB  - Sixty nondiabetic coronary artery disease (CAD) patients submitted to coronary 
      angiography were asked to rate (score 0 to 20) pain intensity (RPI) during their 
      last major anginal episode having occurred prior to coronary angiography. This 
      parameter was examined in relation to other variables of CAD and to psychological 
      features. Stepwise regression analysis revealed that RPI was not related to New 
      York Heart Association (NYHA) classification of angina or to angiographic 
      variables. Yet, RPI was found to be significantly affected by psychological 
      features: higher RPI scores were reported by low state anxiety patients 
      (P=0.008), by Type A coronary-prone behavior patients (P=0.02) and by patients 
      with high depression (P=0.03).
