Abstract :

•       According to World Health Report 2002, cardiovascular diseases(CVDs) will be the leading cause of death and disability in India by 2020.(1)

•       Acute Myocardial Infarction (MI) is a potentially life threatening manifestation of CVDs.

•       Myocardial ischemia often leads to myocardial infarction. Acute myocardial infarction can develop at rest or with normal activity, and can be the first clinical manifestation of coronary heart disease.(1)

•       Stress-induced ischaemia is more common than ischaemia induced by physical stressors.

•       Psychiatric problems contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease and develop as complications of it.(2)
