Comorbilidade Psiquiátrica e Características Psicológicas numa Amostra de Doentes com Síndrome Takotsubo
Journal Title: Psilogos - Year 2011, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
A síndrome takotsubo é uma síndrome cardíaca aguda de bom prognóstico que ocorre mais frequentemente em mulheres pós‑menopausa e que, geralmente, é precedida por stress psicológico ou físico. Os autores recolheram dados demográficos e clínicos e avaliaram aspectos psiquiátricos e psicológicos numa amostra de sete doentes com este diagnóstico. Foram aplicados o Questionário de Saúde do Doente e o Inventário Multifásico de Personalidade de Minnesota (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory – MMPI). Verificou‑se que duas das participantes apresentavam uma perturbação depressiva e quatro se encontravam medicadas com psicofármacos. Os resultados da aplicação do MMPI revelaram características de psicopatia e paranóia nas doentes avaliadas.
