I am trying to find an article that I have seen before that shows anxiety to be a symtom of heart disease

I am trying to find an article that I have seen before that shows anxiety to be a symtom of heart disease.?
The article mentioned adrenaline increasing in patients to make up for the job the hear is not doing. It mentioned the use of beta blocker to help decrease the symptom of anxiety that the heart causes. Can anyone help me find it again?

The first link article doesn't mention adrenaline which can have the effect of increasing the heart rate. University of Sydney professor of cardiology Ben Freedman from Sydney's Concord hospital, said "If you have a high heart rate there was an increase in heart attack, there was about a 46 percent increase in hospitalizations for non-fatal or fatal heart attack." and... A 1990 to 2002 British study of 57,615 patients diagnosed with panic and anxiety attacks disorder and 347,000 patients without symptoms of anxiety attacks found a few surprising links between heart attacks and panic attacks. Heart disease was more prevalent among everyone recently diagnosed with panic attack disorder. Heart disease for panic anxiety patients under 50 was especially high, as were female participants from 16 to 40 years of age.
