Key result
Moderate or severe anxiety (HR 6.21; 95% CI 1.64-23.54) and depression (HR 4.32; 95% CI 1.35-13.88) were independent predictors of recurrent cardiac events 12 months after PCI.

Does moderate or severe anxiety or depression predict recurrent cardiac events in patients with CAD after PCI?
Hazard Ratio: 6.21 (95% CI 1.64–23.54)
Moderate to severe anxiety and depression are strong independent predictors of recurrent cardiac events within 12 months following PCI.
Park et al. (2014) conducted a cohort in Coronary artery disease (CAD) after PCI (n=133). Moderate or severe anxiety and depression was evaluated on Recurrent cardiac events (HR 6.21, 95% CI 1.64-23.54). Moderate or severe anxiety (HR 6.21; 95% CI 1.64-23.54) and depression (HR 4.32; 95% CI 1.35-13.88) were independent predictors of recurrent cardiac events 12 months after PCI.
