Article Synopsis
- Neurohormonal systems activate early in acute coronary syndromes to help maintain blood circulation, but long-term activation of these stress hormones can be harmful.
- Cortisol levels peak at 8 hours after symptoms start, with consistently high levels linked to poorer outcomes, while catecholamines surge significantly within 30 minutes of ischemia, worsening heart damage.
- Stress-related high blood sugar leads to inflammation, vascular issues, and increased risk of blood clots, and notably, hyperglycemia in non-diabetic patients is associated with higher in-hospital and 12-month mortality rates.
