在COVID-19爆发期间，全球心肌梗死（AMI）住院率显著下降。大流行病可能在这些患者中产生恐惧和不良心理后果，延误了就医时间。该研究的主要目的是通过FCV-19 S问卷（7项自我报告测量）评估69名AMI患者（65 ± 11岁，平均值± SD; 59名男性）对COVID的恐惧。女性的每个FCV-19 S项目的值均高于男性。年龄较大的受试者（>57岁，第25百分位数）的总分高于第一四分位数的受试者。在第4项（“我害怕因冠状病毒而失去生命”）和第3项（“我一想到冠状病毒，手就变得湿冷”）中，回答“同意”和“非常同意”的病人百分比，长者明显较年轻病人为高。当将心血管（CV）患者与先前发表的一般意大利人群进行比较时，CV疾病患者的第3项和第4项值较高。应采取措施帮助弱势和高CV风险患者，可能会在心脏病学团队中增加心理学家。
A marked decline in myocardial infarction (AMI) hospitalizations was observed worldwide during the COVID-19 outbreak. The pandemic may have generated fear and adverse psychological consequences in these patients, delaying hospital access. The main objective of the study was to assess COVID fear through the FCV-19S questionnaire (a self-report measure of seven items) in 69 AMI patients (65 ± 11 years, mean ± SD; 59 males). Females presented higher values of each FCV-19S item than males. Older subjects (>57 years, 25th percentile) showed a higher total score with respect to those in the first quartile. The percentage of patients who responded “agree” and “strongly agree” in item 4 (“I am afraid of losing my life because of the coronavirus”) and 3 (“My hands become clammy when I think about the coronavirus”) was significantly greater in the elderly than in younger patients. When cardiovascular (CV) patients were compared to a previously published general Italian population, patients with CV disease exhibited higher values for items 3 and 4. Measures should be put in place to assist vulnerable and high CV risk patients, possibly adding psychologists to the cardiology team.
