dc.description.abstractIntroduction: In many studies that are aimed to determine the psychological profile of patients admitted to the emergency unit with non-cardiac angina (NCA), it was indicated that psychiatric problems, less effective problem-solving, and alexithymia are more common in NCA compared with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. In this study, aiming to find predictive psychological clinical features, we compared the temperament, anxiety, and depression scores of patients with NCA and ACS. Methods: Sociodemographic variables of 63 patients (n=41 NCA, n=22 ACS) who were admitted to the emergency unit with chest pain were recorded. TEMPS-A scale was used for defining temperamental features, and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was used to measure anxiety and depression levels of patients in both groups. Sociodemographic variables and TEMPS-A and HADS scores were compared with chi(2) and independent-groups t-test between the NCA and ACS groups. Results: The NCA and ACS groups were similar in terms of sociodemographic variables. There was no statistical difference between groups in HDS (p=0.12) and HAS (p=0.39) scores and TEMPS-A scale depressive (p=0.41), cyclothymic (p=0.08), hyperthymic (p=0.06), and anxious (p=0.29) temperament scores. But, irritable temperament scores were significantly higher in the NCS group (p=0.04). Conclusion: We believe that our findings will provide a basis for further studies in the diagnosis and treatment of NCA by contributing to the definition of NCA patients' psychological profiles.
