Within the health prevention programs, stress has been considered as a cardiovascular risk factor. It is called psychological discomfort and it has been interpreted as a pathological adaptation process. The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of psychological risk factors defined as psychological discomfort and represented in symptoms such as anxiety anguish, depression and hostility in a population of patients who had a cardiovascular event. The results indicated that the presence of psychological discomfort in this population manifested mostly by symptoms of anxiety and anguish. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
