Why the study?

The study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of Psycho-Cardiology therapy in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated with mild anxiety and depression.

Does Psycho-Cardiology therapy improve anxiety, depression, cardiac function, and reduce adverse cardiovascular events in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated with mild anxiety and depression?

Comparison

Psycho-Cardiology intervention plus routine treatment vs routine treatment alone

Design

Randomized controlled trial

Follow-up

1 year

Overview

May improve AMI outcomes with mild anxiety; hypothesis-generating and requires larger confirmatory trials.

Structured PICO

Does Psycho-Cardiology therapy improve anxiety, depression, cardiac function, and reduce adverse cardiovascular events in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated with mild anxiety and depression?

P
Population
256 patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated with mild anxiety and depression
I
Intervention
Psycho-Cardiology intervention in addition to routine treatments (reperfusion and secondary prevention of coronary heart disease)
C
Comparator
Routine treatments (reperfusion and secondary prevention of coronary heart disease)
O
Outcome
PHQ-9 and GAD-7 scores, left ventricular ejection fraction, and incidences of adverse cardiovascular events (recurrent angina pectoris, heart failure, malignant arrhythmia, recurrent myocardial infarction and death)

Psycho-Cardiology therapy added to routine care for AMI patients with mild anxiety and depression improves psychological symptoms, cardiac function, and reduces adverse cardiovascular events at 1 year.
