Does a psychotherapy intervention reduce anxiety scores in anxious patients with coronary heart disease?
A psychotherapy intervention did not demonstrate a statistically significant benefit in reducing anxiety among patients with coronary heart disease.
No support for psychotherapy to reduce anxiety in CHD; challenges efficacy assumptions and redirects research to alternatives.
Our study showed that elevated anxiety scores were reduced over time but there was no statistically significant effect of the psychotherapy intervention in anxious patients with CHD. Changes in the design of the intervention and study might be useful to further investigate this topic in the future.
