This study establishes the first MCID estimates for the HADS in cardiovascular patients, providing a metric for treatment success in mental health interventions.

Abstract

Our work provides the first estimates of an MCID by triangulating multiple methodologies for the HADS in patients with cardiovascular disease. This MCID may serve as an indicator of treatment success for clinicians and researchers and guide future interventions to improve the mental health of patients with cardiovascular disease.
