Kaplan–Meier curves of total cardiovascular events in patients with anxiety compared with patients without anxiety during the COVID-19 period. CI confidence interval, COVID-19 coronavirus disease 2019. Patients with anxiety showed a higher risk for the incidence of total cardiovascular events than patients without anxiety during the 1-year follow-up, including acute coronary syndrome (acute myocardial infarction and hospitalization for unstable angina), stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic), acute decompensated heart failure, coronary revascularization, atrial fibrillation, or death from cardiovascular causes
