Hierarchical regression analysis showed that lower serum cortisol levels were significantly associated with more severe PTSD symptoms three months (B=-0.002, p=0.042) and 12 months (B=-0.002, p=0.043) post-MI. The generalizability of the findings is limited to patients with high acute peri-traumatic distress and without an acute severe depressive episode. The study does not provide any information about the diurnal cortisol pattern. Lower serum cortisol measured during MI hospitalization may predict more severe MI-induced PTSD symptom
