Does ischemia occur with panic attacks?
In this group of otherwise healthy women with panic disorder and chest pain, ambulatory ischemic changes were not recorded during panic attacks.
Racial differences in procedure use reflect higher rates of clinical appropriateness among whites, greater underuse among blacks, and more frequent revascularization when it was not clinically indicated among whites. Underuse is associated with higher mortality. In contrast, men had higher rates of clinical appropriateness and were more likely to receive revascularization when it was not clinically indicated. There was no evidence of greater underuse among women.
