Implication

Psychological coping styles may identify PTCA patients at higher complication risk; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.

Structured PICO

Do psychologic variables predict medical complications, re-stenosis, and psychosocial adjustment in patients undergoing PTCA?

P
Population
97 patients undergoing percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) for treatment of narrowed coronary arteries
I
Intervention
Psychologic variables (repressive style, level of cardiac information, anxiety level)
O
Outcome
Medical complications, re-stenosis (renarrowing), and psychosocial adjustment at 6 months after PTCA

Psychological coping styles and anxiety levels during hospitalization are significant predictors of 6-month medical and psychosocial outcomes following PTCA.
