Does type D personality increase the risk of depression and anxiety in PCI patients?
Type D personality is associated with a significantly increased long-term risk of depression and anxiety following percutaneous coronary intervention.
Type D personality signals need for mental health monitoring post-PCI; extends observational data but leaves intervention benefits open.
PCI patients with type D personality had a 3.69-fold increased risk for depression and a 2.72-fold increased risk for anxiety at 10 years of follow-up.
