J Psychosom Res 2024; 183:111824. [PMID: 38865804 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpsychores.2024.111824] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2023] [Revised: 06/03/2024] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and impact of depression and anxiety symptoms on post-operative prognosis and 1-year all-cause mortality in a large unique cohort of patients with Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and peripheral artery disease (PAD) after partial foot amputation (PFA). METHODS Prospective cohort study with 1-year follow-up of 785 consecutive patients (mean age 60.9 ± 9.1 years; 64.1% males) with T2D and PAD after PFA. Depressive symptoms were assessed by Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and anxiety symptoms by Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS). We used multivariable Cox proportional hazard models to examine the association of depression and anxiety with all-cause mortality. RESULTS One-year all-cause mortality was 16.9% (n = 133). 331 (42.1%) patients had PHQ-9 score ≥ 10 indicating major depressive disorder. After adjusting for confounders, PHQ-9 score ≥ 10 was associated with an increased risk of 1-year all-cause mortality (HR = 1.68 (95%CI[1.16-2.44], p = 0.006). Depression dimensions of negative self-feeling and suicidal ideations were independently associated with 1-year mortality (HR = 1.26 (95%CI[1.24-1.55], p = 0.029 and HR = 2.37 (95%CI[1.89-2.96], p < 0.001, respectively). Compared to no depression, severe depressive symptoms (cut-off≥20) were associated with increased all-cause mortality (HR = 3.9 (95%CI [1.48-10.29], p = 0.006). Compared to no anxiety, severe anxiety symptoms (cut-off>30) were associated with increased 1-year mortality (HR = 2.25(95%CI [1.26-4.05], p = 0.006). CONCLUSION Depressive symptoms and severe anxiety have shown independently increased risk of 1-year all-cause mortality in patients with T2D and PAD requiring PFA. Our results indicate that screening for anxiety and depression should be considered under these circumstances to identify patients at increased risk to allow appropriate intervention.

Abstract
Interventions that target mental health symptoms and stress among those with established cardiac disease have included predominately male samples despite female patients reporting greater severity of these symptoms. The aim of this scoping review was to synthesize the published literature on psychological interventions for females with cardiac disease. We conducted a systematic search of peer-reviewed randomized clinical trials (RCTs) published in the English language from 2003 to 2023, in three databases: Medline (Ovid), PsycInfo (Ovid), and CINAHL (EBSCO). Articles that included female samples, a control or comparison group, implemented psychological interventions, and measured depression, anxiety, or stress as an outcome were included in the review. Nine articles describing eight RCTs of psychological interventions, with a total of 1587 female patients with cardiac disease, were included. Interventions were most successful at reducing stress (75% of studies measuring stress reported efficacy), while symptoms of depression and anxiety were less responsive to intervention (∼30% of studies targeting these symptoms reported improvements) in comparison to a control condition. This scoping review highlights that further advancement in knowledge is required to better address the needs of females with cardiac disease and distress, particularly depression and anxiety.

Abstract
AIMS Reducing preventable hospitalization for congestive heart failure (CHF) patients is a challenge for health systems worldwide. CHF patients who also have a recent or ongoing mental disorder may have worse health outcomes compared with CHF patients with no mental disorders. This study examined the impact of mental disorders on 28 day unplanned readmissions of CHF patients. METHODS AND RESULTS This retrospective cohort study used population-level linked public and private hospitalization and death data of adults aged ≥18 years who had a CHF admission in New South Wales, Australia, between 1 January 2014 and 31 December 2020. Individuals' mental disorder diagnosis and Charlson comorbidity and hospital frailty index scores were derived from admission records. Competing risk and cause-specific risk analyses were conducted to examine the impact of having a mental disorder diagnosis on all-cause hospital readmission. Of the 65 861 adults with index CHF admission discharged alive (mean age: 78.6 ± 12.1; 48% female), 19.2% (12 675) had at least one unplanned readmission within 28 days following discharge. Adults with CHF with a mental disorder diagnosis within 12 months had a higher risk of 28 day all-cause unplanned readmission [hazard ratio (HR): 1.21, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.15-1.27, P-value < 0.001], particularly those with anxiety disorder (HR: 1.49, 95% CI: 1.35-1.65, P-value < 0.001). CHF patients aged ≥85 years (HR: 1.19, 95% CI: 1.11-1.28), having ≥3 other comorbidities (HR: 1.35, 95% CI: 1.25-1.46), and having an intermediate (HR: 1.34, 95% CI: 1.28-1.40) or high (HR: 1.37, 95% CI: 1.27-1.47) frailty score on admission had a higher risk of unplanned readmission. CHF patients with a mental disorder who have ≥3 other comorbidities and an intermediate frailty score had the highest probability of unplanned readmission (29.84%, 95% CI: 24.68-35.73%) after considering other patient-level factors and competing events. CONCLUSIONS CHF patients who had a mental disorder diagnosis in the past 12 months are more likely to be readmitted compared with those without a mental disorder diagnosis. CHF patients with frailty and a mental disorder have the highest probability of readmission. Addressing mental health care services in CHF patient's discharge plan could potentially assist reduce unplanned readmissions.

Abstract
Cardiac procedure-related anxiety and pain can adversely affect outcomes and lead to patient dissatisfaction. Virtual reality (VR) offers a promising alternative to traditional therapies for improving patient experience. Our objective is to synthesize evidence and assess the effectiveness of VR in reducing cardiac procedure-related anxiety and pain compared to standard of care. We conducted a comprehensive search across various online databases, including MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, Web of Sciences, and COCHRANE, to identify relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) focusing on VR, cardiac procedures, anxiety, and pain. We utilized a random-effect model to generate effect estimates reported as standardized mean differences (SMD) with a 95% confidence interval. Our review comprised 10 studies with a total of 621 participants (intervention arm: 301, control arm: 320). Overall, among the seven studies evaluating anxiety outcomes, no significant difference in anxiety reduction was observed between the intervention and control groups (standardized mean difference (SMD) -0.62, 95% CI -1.61, 0.37, p=0.22). However, studies using the same anxiety assessment tool demonstrated a significant improvement in the VR arm (SMD -1.01, 95% CI -1.98, -0.04, p=0.04). Conversely, the narrative synthesis of four studies examining pain revealed mixed results. Our findings suggest no significant difference in anxiety reduction between the VR and control groups. Future studies should employ standardized tools for assessing and reporting anxiety and pain to better understand the potential of VR in enhancing patient experience during cardiac procedures.

Abstract
Background Work stress is considered as a risk factor for coronary heart disease, but its link with heart rate variability (HRV) among heart attack survivors is unknown yet. The aim of this study was to investigate associations between baseline work stress and the changes of HRV over one-year after onset of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods Hundred and twenty-two patients with regular paid work before their first ACS episode were recruited into this hospital-based longitudinal cohort study. During hospitalization (baseline), all patients underwent assessments of work stress by job strain (JS) and effort-reward imbalance (ERI) models, and were assigned into low or high groups; simultaneously, sociodemographic and clinical data, as well depression, anxiety, and job burnout, were collected. Patients were followed up 1, 6, and 12 months after discharge, with HRV measurements at baseline and each follow-up point. Generalized estimating equations were used to analyze the effects of baseline work stress on HRV over the following 1 year. Results After adjusting for baseline characteristics and clinical data, anxiety, depression, and burnout scores, high JS was not associated with any HRV measures during follow-up (all p > 0.10), whereas high ERI was significantly related to slower recovery of 5 frequency domain HRV measures (TP, HF, LF, VLF, and ULF) (all p < 0.001), and marginally associated with one time domain measure (SDNN) (p = 0.069). When mutually adjusting for both work stress models, results of ERI remained nearly unchanged. Conclusion Work stress in terms of ERI predicted lower HRV during the one-year period after ACS, especially frequency domain measures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anxiety and depression are critical mental health problems among persons with coronary heart disease (CHD). The range of symptoms is an important stressor for adverse cardiovascular events, and these symptoms can be involved in various ways during the course of CHD. However, the characteristics and mechanisms of comorbidity between the two mental states from the viewpoint of symptom interactions in patients with CHD remain unclear. Therefore, we aim to apply a symptom-oriented approach to identify core and bridge symptoms between anxiety and depression in a population with CHD and to identify differences in network structure over time and symptomatic link profiles. METHODS AND ANALYSIS We designed a multicentre, cross-sectional, longitudinal study of anxiety and depression symptoms among patients with CHD. We will evaluate degrees of symptoms using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale, the Patient Health Questionnaire and the WHO Quality of Life-Brief version. Patients will be followed up for 1, 3 and 6 months after baseline measurements. We will analyse and interpret network structures using R software and its packages. The primary outcomes of interest will include centrality, bridge connections, estimates, differences in network structures and profiles of changes over time. The secondary outcome measures will be the stability and accuracy of the network. By combining cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses, this study should elucidate the central and potential causative pathways among anxiety and depression symptom networks as well as their temporal stability in patients with CHD. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The project conforms to the ethical principles enshrined in the Declaration of Helsinki (2013 amendment) and all local ethical guidelines. The ethics committee at the University of South China approved the study (Approval ID: 2023-USC-HL-414). The findings will be published and presented at conferences for widespread dissemination.

Abstract
This study aims to investigate the effect of antipsychotic agents on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (CVD/CEV) and mortality risks in the older population living in a community. A cohort of 42,650 new users of antipsychotic agents was built using Quebec healthcare databases (1998-2011). The outcomes were CVD/CEV and mortality incidence in 5 years of follow-up in the total cohort, sub-cohort of patients with no schizophrenia/dementia, sub-cohort with schizophrenia, and sub-cohort with dementia. Comparisons were made between the new users who continued the treatment (adherent level ≥ 60%) vs. those ceasing treatment (adherence level < 60%) using inverse probability of treatment weighting and Cox models. Comparing high adherence vs. low levels, CVD/CEV risk was increased by 36% in the sub-cohort with schizophrenia for atypical antipsychotic users and by 25% in the sub-cohort with dementia for typical antipsychotic users. An increasing mortality risk of 2- to 3-fold was linked with the typical antipsychotic use in all cohorts except the sub-cohort with schizophrenia; in addition, mortality risk is linked with the use of high vs. low doses. Antipsychotics were not linked with CVD/CEV risk, except for atypical antipsychotics in patients with schizophrenia and typical antipsychotics in patients with dementia. The mortality risk was linked with the use of typical antipsychotics and the dose used.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical practice guidelines for the management and convalescence of patients with spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) have yet to be developed. The targeted content, delivery, and outcomes of interventions that benefit this population remain unclear. Patient-informed data are required to substantiate observational research and provide evidence to inform and standardize clinical activities. METHODS AND RESULTS Patients diagnosed with SCAD (N=89; 86.5% women; mean age, 53.2 years) were purposively selected from 5 large tertiary care hospitals. Patients completed sociodemographic and medical questionnaires and participated in an interview using a patient-piloted semistructured interview guide. Interviews were transcribed and subjected to framework analysis using inductive and then deductive coding techniques. Approximately 1500 standard transcribed pages of interview data were collected. Emotional distress was the most commonly cited precipitating factor (56%), with an emphasis on anxiety symptoms. The awareness and detection of SCAD as a cardiac event was low among patients (35%) and perceived to be moderate among health care providers (55%). Health care providers' communication of the prognosis and self-management of SCAD were perceived to be poor (79%). Postevent psychological disorders among patients were evident (30%), and 73% feared recurrence. Short- and longer-term follow-up that was tailored to patients' needs was desired (72%). Secondary prevention programming was recommended, but there were low completion rates of conventional cardiac rehabilitation (48%), and current programming was deemed inadequate. CONCLUSIONS This early-stage, pretrial research has important implications for the acute and long-term management of patients with SCAD. Additional work is required to validate the hypotheses generated from this patient-oriented research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression and anxiety occur more frequently in women and are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. OBJECTIVES Data on the association between these psychiatric conditions and the incidence of acute heart failure (HF) and how they influence heart failure outcomes in women are lacking. We investigated this potential relationship using data from the National Inpatient Sample. METHODS We used ICD-10 codes to extract encounters for acute heart failure and/or the acute exacerbation of chronic heart failure, anxiety, and depression from the discharge data of the NIS from 2019 to 2020. We compared baseline characteristics and length of stay (LOS), cost of care (COC) and acute HF by depression/anxiety status for males and females and employed regression models to assess the influence of these psychiatric conditions on the outcomes. RESULTS There were 6,394,136 encounters involving females, which represented 56.6% of the sample. The prevalence of depression and anxiety were 15.7% and 16.8%, respectively. Among females, the occurrence of acute CHF did not differ by depression or anxiety status. However, Takostubo cardiomyopathy was more prevalent in those with depression (0.3% vs. 0.2%, p = 0.003) and anxiety (0.3% vs. 0.2%, p = 0.03) compared to those without these conditions. Among those with depression, LOS was significantly longer (3 days IQR: 2-6, vs. 3 days IQR:2-5 days, p < 0.001). The COC was USD 1481 more in patients with depression. On the contrary, LOS and COC were significantly lower in those without anxiety. CONCLUSIONS Depression was associated with an increased LOS among both men and women and an increased cost of care among women. Anxiety was associated with a decreased LOS and cost of care among women, which may be related to an increased rate of against medical advice (AMA) discharges among this population. Further research is necessary to identify optimal management strategies for depression and anxiety among patients hospitalized with HF.

Abstract
Aims Cardiovascular diseases are one of the main contributors to disability and mortality worldwide. Meanwhile, risk factors can be modified by lifestyle changes. mHealth is an innovative and effective way to deliver cardiac health promotion. This study aims to examine the needs and demands regarding the design and contents of an mHealth intervention for cardiac health promotion among individuals with cardiac diseases. Different clusters were determined and analysed in terms of the intention to use an mHealth intervention. Methods and results A cross-sectional study was conducted via a web-based survey. Three hundred and four individuals with coronary artery diseases (CADs) and/or congestive heart failure (CHF) were included in the data analysis. Descriptive statistics were applied to evaluate needs and demands regarding an mHealth intervention. A k-medoids cluster analysis was performed. Individuals with CAD and CHF favoured an mHealth intervention that supports its users permanently and is easily integrated into everyday life. Handheld devices and content formats that involve active user participation and regular updates were preferred. Three clusters were observed and labelled high, moderate, and low burden, according to their psychometric properties. The high burden cluster indicated higher behavioural intention towards use of an mHealth intervention than the other clusters. Conclusion The results of the study are a valuable foundation for the development of an mHealth intervention for cardiac health promotion following a user-centred design approach. Individuals with cardiac diseases report positive attitudes in the form of high usage intention regarding mHealth. Highly burdened individuals report a high intention to use such interventions.

Dynamic myocardial perfusion computed tomography with mental stress test to detect changes in myocardial microcirculation in patients with anxiety and no obstructive coronary artery disease. Eur Radiol 2023; 33:6522-6533. [PMID: 37036482 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-023-09607-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2022] [Revised: 01/27/2023] [Accepted: 02/22/2023] [Indexed: 04/11/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Mental stress can induce myocardial ischemia in patients with anxiety and other psychological disorders. Computed tomography myocardial perfusion imaging (CT-MPI) has the potential to quantitatively diagnose myocardial ischemia. The aim of this study was to measure changes in myocardial microcirculation perfusion (MMP) in patients with anxiety who have angina symptoms/ischemia but no obstructive coronary artery disease (INOCA) using dynamic CT-MPI in combination with a mental stress test. METHODS Patients with INOCA were divided into five subgroups (none, minimal, mild, moderate, and severe) according to the generalized anxiety disorder scale. Patients underwent dynamic CT-MPI with mental stress testing using a series of the standardized color word/arithmetic stressors. Myocardial blood flow (MBF) during resting and stress phases of CT-MPI was recorded. RESULTS Fifty-eight patients with 986 segments were included for final analysis. Compared to patients with none, minimal, mild, and moderate anxiety, those with severe anxiety had the largest rate of MBF decrease and the largest MBF decrease value. At the same time, those with no anxiety had the largest rate of MBF increase, the largest MBF increase value (all p < 0.05). As anxiety intensified, the rate of MBF increased and the MBF value increased (r = -0.24, r = -0.27, p < 0.05). Concomitantly, the rate of MBF decreased and the MBF value decreased (r = 0.63, r = 0.43, p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Dynamic CT-MPI with a mental stress test can be used to evaluate MMP in patients with anxiety and INOCA. Mental stress resulted in significant differences in changes in the rate and value of MBF among patients with different anxiety degrees. KEY POINTS • Dynamic CT-MPI with mental stress test worked well to quantitatively evaluate myocardial microcirculation perfusion in patients with anxiety and INOCA. • The rates of MBF decrease and MBF decrease value were positively correlated with anxiety degree of anxiety patients with INOCA. • MBF change derived from CT-MPI with mental stress test had a good performance to predicting anxiety degree of patients with anxiety and INOCA.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE The incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD) complicated with anxiety or depression is increasing year by year. However, many anti-anxiety drugs or antidepressants have a certain degree of adverse reactions and are not easily accepted by patients. Xinkeshu (XKS), as a proprietary Chinese patent medicine with "psycho-cardiology" effect, is one of the commonly used drugs in the treatment of CHD complicated with anxiety or depression in China. AIM OF THE STUDY To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of XKS for CHD complicated with anxiety or depression. METHODS Nine different electronic databases were independently searched to include randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of XKS for CHD complicated with anxiety or depression published from inception to February 2022, and the methodological quality was evaluated using the bias risk assessment tool from Cochrane Handbook 5.0 and the modified Jadad scale. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 and Stata 16.0 software. The GRADE Profiler 3.6.1 and TSA 0.9.5.10 beta were adopted to evaluate the certainty and conclusiveness of the evidence. RESULTS A total of 18 RCTs involving 1907 subjects were included. There were 956 subjects in the XKS group and 951 subjects in the control group. Baseline conditions were consistent and comparable between the groups. Compared with single-use western medicine (WM), XKS combined with WM significantly reduced scores of Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) [Mean difference (MD) = -7.60, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) (-10.37, -4.83), P < 0.000 01], Zung Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) [MD = -10.05, 95% CI (-12.70, -7.41), P < 0.000 01], Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) [MD = -6.74, 95% CI (-11.58, -1.90), P = 0.006], and Zung Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) [MD = -10.75, 95% CI (-17.05,-4.45), P = 0.000 8], as well as improved clinical effective rate [odds ratio (OR) = 4.24, 95% CI (2.47, 7.27), P < 0.000 01]. In terms of safety, 4 studies reported the adverse reactions in detail. The severity was mild and symptoms disappeared after treatment. CONCLUSION Current evidence indicates that XKS may be effective and safe in the treatment of patients with CHD complicated with anxiety or depression. Since the quality of the literature included in this study was generally low, there is an urgent need for more RCTs with high quality, low bias risk and sufficient sample size to validate our conclusions.

Abstract
Background Anxiety disorders are associated with decreased heart rate variability (HRV), but the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Methods We selected individuals with whole-genome sequencing, Fitbit, and electronic health record data (N=920; 61,333 data points) from the All of Us Research Program. Anxiety PRS were derived with PRS-CS after meta-analyzing anxiety genome-wide association studies from three major cohorts-UK Biobank, FinnGen, and the Million Veterans Program (N Total =364,550). The standard deviation of average RR intervals (SDANN) was calculated using five-minute average RR intervals over full 24-hour heart rate measurements. Antidepressant exposure was defined as an active antidepressant prescription at the time of the HRV measurement in the EHR. The associations of daily SDANN measurements with the anxiety PRS, antidepressant classes, and antidepressant substances were tested. Participants with lifetime diagnoses of cardiovascular disorders, diabetes mellitus, and major depression were excluded in sensitivity analyses. One-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) was employed to assess potential causal effect of anxiety on SDANN. Results Anxiety PRS was independently associated with reduced SDANN (beta=-0.08; p=0.003). Of the eight antidepressant medications and four classes tested, venlafaxine (beta=-0.12, p=0.002) and bupropion (beta=-0.071, p=0.01), tricyclic antidepressants (beta=-0.177, p=0.0008), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (beta=-0.069; p=0.0008) and serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (beta=-0.16; p=2×10 -6 ) were associated with decreased SDANN. One-sample MR indicated an inverse effect of anxiety on SDANN (beta=-2.22, p=0.03). Conclusions Anxiety and antidepressants are independently associated with decreased HRV, and anxiety appears to exert a causal effect on HRV. Our observational findings provide novel insights into the impact of anxiety on HRV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peer support has been associated with improved health-related outcomes (e.g., psychological well-being and treatment adherence) among patients with serious, chronic conditions, including kidney disease. Yet, there is little existing research evaluating the effects of peer support programs on health outcomes among patients with kidney failure being treated with kidney replacement therapy. METHODS Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines, we conducted a systematic review using five databases to assess the effects of peer support programs on health-related outcomes (e.g., physical symptoms, depression) among patients with kidney failure undergoing kidney replacement therapy. RESULTS Peer support in kidney failure was assessed across 12 studies (eight randomized controlled trials, one quasi-experimental controlled trial, and three single-arm trials) with 2893 patients. Three studies highlighted the links between peer support and improved patient engagement with care, while one found peer support did not significantly impact engagement. Three studies showed associations between peer support and improvements in psychological well-being. Four studies underscored the effects of peer support on self-efficacy and one on treatment adherence. CONCLUSIONS Despite preliminary evidence of the positive associations between peer support and health-related outcomes among patients with kidney failure, peer support programs for this patient population remain poorly understood and underutilized. Further rigorous prospective and randomized studies are needed to evaluate how peer support can be optimized and incorporated into clinical care for this vulnerable patient population.

Abstract
ABSTRACT It has been 35 years since we published a study in Psychosomatic Medicine showing that patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and major depression were at twice the risk of having a cardiac event as were nondepressed patients (Carney et al. Psychosom Med. 1988;50:627-33). This small study was followed a few years later by a larger, more convincing report from Frasure-Smith et al. (JAMA. 1993;270:1819-25) showing that depression increased the rate of mortality in patients with a recent acute myocardial infarction. Since the 1990s, there have been many more studies of depression as a risk factor for cardiac events and cardiac-related mortality from all over the world, and many clinical trials designed to determine whether treating depression improves medical outcomes in these patients. Unfortunately, the effects of depression treatment in patients with CHD remain unclear. This article considers why it has been difficult to determine whether treatment of depression improves survival in these patients. It also proposes several lines of research to address this question, with the goal of definitively establishing whether treating depression can extend cardiac event-free survival and enhance quality of life in patients with CHD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Anxiety and pain associated with cardiac procedures can lead to worse outcomes and poor satisfaction. Virtual reality (VR) can offer an innovative approach to a more informative experience that may enhance procedural understanding and reduce anxiety. It may also provide a more enjoyable experience by controlling procedure-related pain and improving satisfaction. Previous studies have shown benefits of VR-related therapies in improving anxiety related to cardiac rehabilitation and different surgical procedures. We aim to evaluate the effectiveness of VR technology in comparison to the standard of care in reducing anxiety and pain related to cardiac procedures. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This systematic review and meta-analysis protocol is structured according to the Preferred Reporting for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis-Protocol (PRISMA-P) guidelines. A comprehensive search strategy will be used to search the online databases for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) on VR, cardiac procedures, anxiety, and pain. Risk of bias will be analysed using revised Cochrane risk of bias tool for RCTs. Effect estimates will be reported as standardised mean differences with a 95% CI. Random effect model will be used to generate effect estimates if heterogeneity is significant (I2>60%), otherwise fixed effect model will be used. A p value of <0.05 will be taken as statistically significant. Publication bias will be reported using Egger's regression test. Statistical analysis will be performed using Stata SE V.17.0 and RevMan5. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION There will be no direct involvement of the patient or the public in the conception, design, data collection, and analysis of this systematic review and meta-analysis. Results of this systematic review and meta-analysis will be disseminated via journal articles. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD 42023395395.

BACKGROUND Depression, generalized and cardiac anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorder negatively affect disease severity, participation, and mortality in patients with cardiovascular disease. Psychological treatments within cardiac rehabilitation may improve the outcomes of these patients. We therefore developed a cognitive-behavioral rehabilitation program for patients with cardiovascular disease and mild or moderate mental illness or stress or exhaustion. In Germany, similar programs are well established in musculoskeletal rehabilitation and cancer rehabilitation. However, no randomized controlled trials have evaluated if such programs achieve better outcomes in patients with cardiovascular disease compared with standard cardiac rehabilitation. METHODS Our randomized controlled trial compares cognitive-behavioral cardiac rehabilitation with standard cardiac rehabilitation. The cognitive-behavioral program complements standard cardiac rehabilitation with additional psychological and exercise interventions. Both rehabilitation programs last for four weeks. We enroll 410 patients with cardiovascular disease and mild or moderate mental illness or stress or exhaustion aged 18 to 65 years. Half of the individuals are randomly assigned to cognitive-behavioral rehabilitation and the other half to standard cardiac rehabilitation. Our primary outcome is cardiac anxiety 12 months after the end of rehabilitation. Cardiac anxiety is assessed with the German 17-item version of the Cardiac Anxiety Questionnaire. Secondary outcomes cover outcomes assessed by clinical examinations and medical assessments and a range of patient-reported outcome measures. DISCUSSION This randomized controlled trial is designed to determine the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral rehabilitation at decreasing cardiac anxiety in patients with cardiovascular disease and mild or moderate mental illness or stress or exhaustion.

Abstract
Mental and cognitive disorders (MCD) negatively affect the incidence and prognosis of coronary heart disease (CHD). Medical guidelines recommend the appropriate management of comorbid MCD in patients with CHD, yet there is evidence that the implementation in primary care is not always adequate. We present the protocol for a pilot study that aims to develop a minimally invasive intervention and evaluate its feasibility in the primary care setting to improve the identification and management of comorbid MCD in patients with CHD. The study consists of two consecutive parts and will be carried out in Cologne, Germany. Part 1 comprises the development and tailoring of the intervention, which is guided by qualitative interviews with primary care physicians (PCPs, n = 10), patients with CHD and MCD and patient representatives (n = 10). Part II focuses on the implementation and evaluation of the intervention in n = 10 PCP offices. Changes in PCP behaviour will be analysed by comparing routine data in the practice management system six months before and six months after study participation. In addition, we will explore the influence of organisational characteristics and perform a socio-economic impact assessment. The outcomes of this mixed-method study will inform the feasibility of a PCP-based intervention to improve quality of care in patients with CHD and comorbid MCD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In acute myocardial infarction (AMI), timely recognition of symptoms and early hospital presentation positively affect patient morbidity and mortality. Due to the high burden of ischemic heart disease in Iran, this study aimed to identify factors affecting the level of knowledge, responses at the time of AMI onset, and sources of health information among the Iranian population. METHOD This cross-sectional study was conducted in three tertiary hospitals in Tehran, Iran. An expert-validated questionnaire was used to obtain data. A total of 400 individuals were enrolled. RESULT Among the respondents, 285 people(71.3%) considered "chest pain or discomfort," and 251 (62.7%) regarded "pain or discomfort in the arm or shoulder" as MI symptoms. Approximately 288 (72.0%) respondents had poor knowledge of the AMI symptoms. Knowledge of symptoms was higher among those with higher levels of education, those with medical-associated jobs, and those who resided in the capital areas. Major risk factors identified by the participants were: anxiety (340)(85.0%), obesity (327)(81.8%), an unhealthy diet (325)(81.3%), and the presence of high LDL levels (258)(64.5%) and Diabetes Mellitus (164)(41.0%) were less appreciated. Calling an ambulance (286)(71.5%) was the most common treatment-seeking behavior in the case of a suspected heart attack. CONCLUSION It is vital to educate the general population about AMI symptoms, particularly those with comorbidities at the greatest risk for an AMI episode.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mental stress-induced myocardial ischemia (MSIMI) frequently occurs in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), and is even more common in patients with co-occurring CAD and depression/anxiety. MSIMI appears to be a poor prognostic factor for CAD, but existing data on depression/anxiety patients are limited. METHODS This cohort study will consecutively screen 2,647 CAD patients between 2023 and 2025. Included subjects will need to have received coronary revascularization and also have depression and/or anxiety at baseline. This study will enroll 360 subjects who meet the criteria. Two mental stress tests will be carried out in each patient at 1 month and 1 year timelines after coronary revascularization, using Stroop color word tests. MSIMI will be assessed by 99 m-Tc-sestamibi myocardial perfusion imaging. The endothelial function will be assessed by EndoPAT. Furthermore, we will dynamically monitor patients' health and mental conditions every 3 months. The mean follow-up time will be 1 year. The primary endpoint is the major adverse cardiac events, a composite of all-cause death, cardiac death, myocardial infarction, stroke, or unplanned revascularization. Secondary endpoints will include overall health and mental conditions. The reproducibility of mental stress combined with myocardial perfusion for detecting MSIMI and comparisons between coronary stenosis and ischemic segments will also be included. CONCLUSIONS This cohort study will provide information on MSIMI outcomes in CAD patients who also have comorbid depression/anxiety after revascularization. In addition, understanding the long-term dynamics of MSIMI and the match between coronary stenosis and ischemia will provide insight into MSIMI mechanisms.

Does Anxiety Affect Survival in Patients with Coronary Heart Disease? J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12062098.

Abstract
Introduction: Behavioral and physiological risk factors worsen the prognosis of coronary heart disease (CHD). Anxiety is known to be a psychological predictor of CHD. In this study, we investigated whether this factor is associated with all-cause mortality in CHD patients in the long term. Methods: We studied 180 patients (mean age 60.6 SD 9.2 years, 26% women) with CHD from the Berlin Anxiety Trial (BAT) and the Stepwise Psychotherapy Intervention for Reducing Risk in Coronary Artery Disease (SPIRR-CAD) study. Their cardiac and psychological risk profile was represented by standardized procedures, including the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) questionnaire. Mortality outcomes were assessed using a community-based registry. Results: Of 180 patients, we obtained information on all-cause mortality in 175 (96.7%) after a mean follow-up of 12.2 years (range 10.4–16.6 years). Of all participants, 54.4% had prior myocardial infarction, 95.3% had percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and 22.2% had prior coronary artery bypass graft. Most of the patients (98.4%) had New York Heart Association class I and II, 25.6% had diabetes and 38.2% were smokers. Patients had a mean HADS anxiety score of 9.7 SD 4.1 at study entrance. We found the highest HADS anxiety quartile all-cause mortality in 14%, 30.2% in the middle quartiles and 58.7% in the lowest quartile (chi2 20.8, p = 0.001). Related to psychological mechanisms, a low level of anxiety, seemed to be a significant predictor of all-cause mortality. We found no advantage for patients who had received psychosocial therapy in terms of survival. Conclusion: These first data confirmed our hypothesis about the association of psychological risk factors with the long-term outcome of CAD patients. Future studies will clarify whether the severity of disease, age or a particular type of coping or denial mechanism are associated with the presented outcome in low-anxious patients.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the effect of screening for anxiety and depression (AD) in patients with ischaemic heart disease (IHD) on the likelihood of receiving treatment for AD. METHODS We used a nationwide dataset of all Danish patients with an incident IHD diagnosis in the period 2015-2018 (N = 80,701) of which 20,461 (25%) were exposed to screening for AD as part of cardiac rehabilitation. A binary composite indicator for the use of any AD treatment (prescriptions of AD drugs, general practitioner (GP) counselling or referral to a psychologist), was modelled as the dependent variable. The probability of receiving AD treatment was estimated using linear probability and instrumental variable regression models. RESULTS Exposure to AD screening was lower for patients with low income (change in probability -0.67, 95% CI -0.76; -0.59), low education (change in probability -0.16, 95% CI -0.20; -0.13), and a high comorbidity burden (change in probability -0.09, 95% CI -0.10; -0.07). Screened patients had a lower conditional probability of AD treatment (change in probability -0.0061, p < 0.001) than non-screened patients. The patient's GP also had an impact on the probability of being referred for AD treatment. Using an instrumental variable approach did not affect the results. CONCLUSIONS
Screening for AD was subject to selection at the patient level; patients at lower risk of AD had a higher probability of being screened. Hence, extending systematic screening to cover a larger population may not achieve a noticeable increase in the uptake of AD treatment if it is not supported by appropriate measures to reduce reverse selection into screening.

Abstract
Empirical evidence indicates a significant bidirectional association between mental disorders and physical diseases, but the prospective impact of men-tal disorders on clinical outcomes of physical diseases has not been comprehensively outlined. In this PRISMA- and COSMOS-E-compliant umbrella review, we searched PubMed, PsycINFO, Embase, and Joanna Briggs Institute Database of Systematic Reviews and Implementation Reports, up to March 15, 2022, to identify systematic reviews with meta-analysis that examined the prospective association between any mental disorder and clinical outcomes of physical diseases. Primary outcomes were disease-specific mortality and all-cause mortality. Secondary outcomes were disease-specific incidence, functioning and/or disability, symptom severity, quality of life, recurrence or progression, major cardiac events, and treatment-related outcomes. Additional inclusion criteria were further applied to primary studies. Random effect models were employed, along with I2 statistic, 95% prediction intervals, small-study effects test, excess significance bias test, and risk of bias (ROBIS) assessment. Associations were classified into five credibility classes of evidence (I to IV and non-significant) according to established criteria, complemented by sensitivity and subgroup analyses to examine the robustness of the main analysis. Statistical analysis was performed using a new package for conducting umbrella reviews (https://metaumbrella.org). Population attributable fraction (PAF) and generalized impact fraction (GIF) were then calculated for class I-III associations. Forty-seven systematic reviews with meta-analysis, encompassing 251 non-overlapping primary studies and reporting 74 associations, were included (68% were at low risk of bias at the ROBIS assessment). Altogether, 43 primary outcomes (disease-specific mortality: n=17; all-cause mortality: n=26) and 31 secondary outcomes were investigated. Although 72% of associations were statistically significant (p<0.05), only two showed convincing (class I) evidence: that between depressive disorders and all-cause mortality in patients with heart failure (hazard ratio, HR=1.44, 95% CI: 1.26-1.65), and that between schizophrenia and cardiovascular mortality in patients with cardiovascular diseases (risk ratio, RR=1.54, 95% CI: 1.36-1.75). Six associations showed highly suggestive (class II) evidence: those between depressive disorders and all-cause mortality in patients with diabetes mellitus (HR=2.84, 95% CI: 2.00-4.03) and with kidney failure (HR=1.41, 95% CI: 1.31-1.51); that between depressive disorders and major cardiac events in patients with myocardial infarction (odds ratio, OR=1.52, 95% CI: 1.36-1.70); that between depressive disorders and dementia in patients with diabetes mellitus (HR=2.11, 95% CI: 1.77-2.52); that between alcohol use disorder and decompensated liver cirrhosis in patients with hepatitis C (RR=3.15, 95% CI: 2.87-3.46); and that between schizophrenia and cancer mortality in patients with cancer (standardized mean ratio, SMR=1.74, 95% CI: 1.41-2.15). Sensitivity/subgroup analyses confirmed these results. The largest PAFs were 30.56% (95% CI: 27.67-33.49) for alcohol use disorder and decompensated liver cirrhosis in patients with hepatitis C, 26.81% (95% CI: 16.61-37.67) for depressive disorders and all-cause mortality in patients with diabetes mellitus, 13.68% (95% CI: 9.87-17.58) for depressive disorders and major cardiac events in patients with myocardial infarction, 11.99% (95% CI: 8.29-15.84) for schizophrenia and cardiovascular mortality in patients with cardiovascular diseases, and 11.59% (95% CI: 9.09-14.14) for depressive disorders and all-cause mortality in patients with kidney failure. The GIFs confirmed the preventive capacity of these associations. This umbrella review demonstrates that mental disorders increase the risk of a poor clinical outcome in several physical diseases. Prevention targeting mental disorders - particularly alcohol use disorders, depressive disorders, and schizophrenia - can reduce the incidence of adverse clinical outcomes in people with physical diseases. These findings can inform clinical practice and trans-speciality preventive approaches cutting across psychiatric and somatic medicine.

Psychological distress, social support, and use of outpatient care among adult men and women with coronary artery disease or other non-cardiovascular chronic disease. J Psychosom Res 2023; 165:111131. [PMID: 36610332 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpsychores.2022.111131] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2022] [Revised: 12/21/2022] [Accepted: 12/22/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Psychological distress, as defined by elevations in symptoms of depression, anxiety, and/or perceived stress, is frequent in patients with chronic diseases, such as coronary artery disease (CAD). While psychological distress is known to impact disease outcomes, less is known about its influence on health care utilization, or on the factors that may modify these relationships. This prospective study examined whether 1) psychological distress predicts greater use of outpatient care services over a period of up to eight years in middle-aged to older individuals with CAD or other non-cardiovascular chronic diseases; 2) this relationship differs according to sex, presence of CAD, and/or social support. METHODS Men and women (N = 1236; aged 60.85 ± 6.95 years) with and without CAD completed validated questionnaires on symptoms of depression, anxiety, perceived stress, and social support. Number of medical outpatient visits was obtained from the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec. Analyses included bivariate correlations, hierarchical regressions, and moderation analyses, controlling for sociodemographic and lifestyle variables. RESULTS Psychological distress, social support, and yearly outpatient visits were significantly correlated (ps < 0.05). In regression analyses, only depressive symptoms were associated with significantly greater use of outpatient care (b = 0.048, p = .004), particularly among CAD patients (b = 0.085, p < .001). Neither sex nor social support moderated this relation. CONCLUSION Depression predicted greater outpatient visits in patients with chronic disease, especially CAD patients. More research is needed to determine whether psychosocial interventions may have an impact on health care utilization.

Abstract
Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is a significant yet modifiable risk factor for worse cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes. The treatment of GAD in an accessible manner represents an unmet need in CVD, given that patients with CVD experience numerous barriers to in-person treatment engagement. This paper presents the rationale and design for an investigation of a strategy to enhance care for patients with CVD by introducing a scalable, affordable, and system-friendly digital intervention that targets a prominent modifiable risk factor (generalized anxiety and associated worry) for negative health behaviors in CVD. In the context of a randomized clinical trial design, we describe an experimental medicine approach for evaluating the degree to which a digital cognitive behavior therapy (dCBT), relative to a waitlist control group, engages anxiety and worry outcomes in a sample of 90 adults who have experienced an acute CVD event and who have comorbid GAD symptoms. We also investigate the degree to which dCBT leads to greater changes in GAD symptoms compared to the control condition and whether reductions in these symptoms are associated with corresponding reductions in cardiac anxiety and cardiac health behaviors (including smoking, physical activity, heart-healthy diet, and medication adherence). We propose that by targeting GAD symptoms in CVD in a way that does not tax ongoing medical care provision, we have the potential to improve the uptake of effective care and address both GAD and associated health behaviors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with acute coronary syndrome report poor health-related quality of life and decreased levels of perceived control. Perceived control is a person's belief that they can cope with negative events. Resilience is an adaptation that gives people the capacity to recover from difficult situations, and higher levels of resilience may impact recovery after an acute event. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between resilience, perceived control, and health outcomes of patients hospitalized with acute coronary syndrome within 6 months of discharge. METHODS Data were collected prospectively from adult patients hospitalized with acute coronary syndrome in 3 university hospitals in the Tokyo Metropolitan area, Japan. All data were collected between December 2015 and December 2019. The Sukemune-Hiew Resilience Test (part 1) was used to measure resilience, which includes 3 domains of social support, self-efficacy, and sociality. The Control Attitudes Scale-Revised was used to measure perceived control. Linear regression and path analysis were used to statistically analyze the relationship among variables. RESULTS Higher resilience, especially self-efficacy, was associated with higher perceived control during admission. Higher resilience, especially social support, during admission was associated with perceived control at 6 months after adjusting for income and education. Higher resilience during admission was associated with better perceived control at 3 months, which was associated with better health outcomes at 6 months. Higher income and lower depression were related to higher resilience. CONCLUSIONS Nurses should make sure patients with depression, low income, and low social support are connected with appropriate treatment and social support resources.

Longitudinal Associations of Work Stress with Changes in Quality of Life among Patients after Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Hospital-Based Study. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:17018. [PMID: 36554897 PMCID: PMC9779479 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph192417018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2022] [Revised: 12/10/2022] [Accepted: 12/15/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
(1) Background: Targeting a sample of Chinese employees in this study, the correlation of work stress with changes in quality of life (QoL) was explored subsequent to acute coronary syndrome (ACS). (2) Methods: Patients suffering from the first ACS episode, with regular paid work before ACS, were eligible for this one-year longitudinal study. Effort-reward imbalance (ERI), together with job strain (JS) models, were employed to evaluate work stress before discharge, and QoL prior to discharge (baseline), as well as at 1, 6, and 12 months following discharge, were measured using the 8-Items Short Form (SF-8), in addition to the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ). Moreover, generalized estimating equations were used to determine the relationship of work stress to longitudinal QoL variations. (3) Results: After adjusting for covariates, high work stress at the baseline measured by JS was associated with the slow recovery of both mental health (p < 0.01) and physical health (p < 0.05) in SF-8, while ERI-measured work stress was related to slower improvement in SF-8 physical health (p < 0.001), SAQ-angina stability (AS) (p < 0.05), SF-8 mental health (p < 0.001), and SAQ-angina frequency (AF) (p < 0.05). After mutual adjustment for JS and ERI, high work stress as assessed by JS displayed no correlation with any QoL alteration (all p > 0.05), whereas ERI-determined work stress at a high level still presented a relationship to slow improvement in SF-8 physical health, SAQ-AS, SF-8 mental health, and SAQ-AF (all p < 0.05). (4) Conclusion: Work stress was associated with slow recovery of QoL in patients with ACS across one year. For ACS patients, ERI was a stronger predictor of QoL variations than JS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to explore the effects of Baduanjin-based cardiac rehabilitation on cardiac function and quality of life in patients with coronary heart disease who have undergone percutaneous coronary intervention. METHODS PubMed, the Excerpta Medica Database, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, the Wanfang, SINOMED, the China Science and Technology Journal Database and China National Knowledge Infrastructure were searched for appropriate articles from their respective inception until March 30, 2021. Meta-analysis was conducted with the RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS A total of 11 studies including 1025 patients were considered. Compared with conventional Western medicine, Baduanjin improved the left ventricular ejection fraction of patients [mean difference (MD) = 2.83, 95% confidence interval (CI) (2.05, 3.61), P < .00001], increased the Seattle angina questionnaire and SF-36 health survey scale scores [MD = 6.67, 95% CI (4.09, 9.26), P < .00001; standard mean difference = 0.73, 95% CI (0.55, 0.91), P < .00001, respectively] and decreased the scores of Zung self-rating anxiety scale and self-rating depression scale [MD = -6.64, 95% CI (-7.69, -5.22), P < .00001; MD = -6.63, 95% CI (-7.60, -5.66), P < .00001, respectively]. CONCLUSION Our findings showed that Baduanjin exercise improved cardiac function and quality of life and alleviated patients' anxiety and depression.

Abstract
Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) continues to be a significant burden to public health. Poor treatment and management can lead to more severe cardiac events that could result in death or disability. Early interventions like cardiac rehabilitation programs can provide patients the required knowledge, skills and support to recover from and prevent more cardiac events. Electronic health (eHealth) interventions have potential to complement hospital-based rehabilitation programs. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of the Naluri app in improving health behaviours, clinical and psychological outcomes in a sample of cardiac patients in Malaysia. Methods: This study is a two-arm, parallel, superiority randomized control trial to be conducted at the Malaysian National Heart Institute. A total of 200 patients will be randomly assigned to either a 16-week theory-based Naluri app in addition to usual care (treatment) or to usual care only (control). Outcomes will be measured at baseline and at 16 weeks. Health behaviour outcomes include physical activity and diet. Clinical outcomes include BMI, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and lipid levels. Psychological outcomes include anxiety, depression, and health related quality of life (HRQOL). The Naluri app theoretical framework is based on the Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) theory. Risk perception, self-efficacy, planning, intentions, outcome expectancies, illness perceptions and psychological outcomes will be measured using self-reported measures. Discussion: This trial will determine the effectiveness of the Naluri app intervention in improving various outcomes of cardiac patients after four months. It will provide data on the applicability of the HAPA theory in Mobile health (mHealth) intervention and the acceptance and efficacy of mHealth as a cardiac rehabilitation program for patients in Malaysia. The results may inform the potential implementation of the app for use with patients with other chronic illnesses like diabetes, stroke, and depression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Xinkeshu tablets (XKS), a well-known Chinese patent drug, have been administered to coronary heart disease (CHD) patients with anxiety and depression after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). PURPOSE This meta-analysis aimed to systematically evaluate the clinical effects of XKS for treating CHD patients with anxiety and depression after PCI. METHODS Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about XKS alone or combined with conventional drugs for the treatment of CHD patients with anxiety and depression after PCI were retrieved from 7 databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Chinese Scientific Journals Database (VIP) Database, Chinese Biomedical Database (CBM) and Wanfang Database) through November 2021. First, the studies were reviewed and screened by two independent assessors according to the eligibility criteria. Second, the methodological quality of the eligible studies was evaluated based on the Cochrane Collaboration's tool for assessing the risk of bias. Subsequently, meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.4 software, and publication bias was evaluated by Stata 12.0 software. Finally, the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach was applied to rate the quality of the evidence. RESULTS In total, 11 clinical RCTs involving 1000 patients were included in this study. This meta-analysis found that compared with conventional treatment alone, XKS combined with conventional treatment significantly improved the anxiety scale scores (SMD = -1.97, 95% CI -3.13 to -0.82; p = 0.0008; I2 = 98%), the depression scores (SMD = -2.80, 95% CI -4.49 to -1.10; p = 0.001; I2 = 98%), the scores on the Medical Outcomes Study 36 Item Short Form Health Survey (SF36) (MD = 11.22, 95% CI 4.19 to 18.26; p =0.002; I2 = 95%) and the blood lipid levels of total cholesterol (TC) (MD = -0.38, 95% CI -0.62 to -0.13; p = 0.003; I2 = 0%) and triglyceride (TG) (MD = -0.31, 95% CI -0.46 to -0.17; p < 0.0001; I2 = 0%). CONCLUSION The current evidence suggests that XKS might benefit CHD patients experiencing anxiety and depression after PCI by helping to improve their depression symptoms, TC and TG blood lipid levels. However, due to insufficient methodological quality of the studies, several risks of bias and inadequate reporting of the clinical data, more rigorous, multicenter, sufficient-sample and double-blind randomized clinical trials are warranted.

Abstract
Although resilience and high quality of life are demonstrated by many individuals with congenital heart disease, a range of significant psychological challenges exists across the life span for this growing patient population. Psychiatric disorders represent the most common comorbidity among people with congenital heart disease. Clinicians are becoming increasingly aware of the magnitude of this problem and its interplay with patients’ physical health, and many seek guidance and resources to improve emotional, behavioral‚ and social outcomes. This American Heart Association scientific statement summarizes the psychological outcomes of patients with congenital heart disease across the life span and reviews age-appropriate mental health interventions, including psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy. Data from studies on psychotherapeutic, educational‚ and pharmacological interventions for this population are scarce but promising. Models for the integration of mental health professionals within both pediatric and adult congenital heart disease care teams exist and have shown benefit. Despite strong advocacy by patients, families‚ and health care professionals, however, initiatives have been slow to move forward in the clinical setting. It is the goal of this scientific statement to serve as a catalyst to spur efforts for large-scale research studies examining psychological experiences, outcomes, and interventions tailored to this population and for integrating mental health professionals within congenital heart disease interdisciplinary teams to implement a care model that offers patients the best possible quality of life.

The association between cardiac drug therapy and anxiety among cardiac patients: results from the national DenHeart survey. BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2022; 22:280. [PMID: 35725383 PMCID: PMC9210711 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-022-02724-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2022] [Accepted: 06/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Neuropsychiatric side effects of cardiac drugs such as nervousness, mood swings and agitation may be misinterpreted as symptoms of anxiety. Anxiety in cardiac patients is highly prevalent and associated with poor outcomes, thus an accurate identification is essential. The objectives were to: (I) describe the possible neuropsychiatric side effects of common cardiac drug therapies, (II) describe the use of cardiac drug therapy in cardiac patients with self-reported symptoms of anxiety compared to those with no symptoms of anxiety, and (III) investigate the association between the use of cardiac drug therapy and self-reported symptoms of anxiety. METHODS DenHeart is a large national cross-sectional survey combined with national register data. Symptoms of anxiety were measured by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS-A) on patients with ischemic heart disease, arrhythmia, heart failure and heart valve disease. Side effects were obtained from 'product summaries', and data on redeemed prescriptions obtained from the Danish National Prescription Registry. Multivariate logistic regression analyses explored the association between cardiac drug therapies and symptoms of anxiety (HADS-A ≥ 8). RESULTS Among 8998 respondents 2891 (32%) reported symptoms of anxiety (HADS-A ≥ 8). Neuropsychiatric side effects were reported from digoxin, antiarrhythmics, beta-blockers, ACE-inhibitors and angiotensin receptor antagonists. Statistically significant higher odds of reporting HADS ≥ 8 was found in users of diuretics, lipid-lowering agents, nitrates, antiarrhythmics and beta-blockers compared to patients with no prescription. CONCLUSION Some cardiac drugs were associated with self-reported symptoms of anxiety among patients with cardiac disease. Of these drugs neuropsychiatric side effects were only reported for antiarrhythmics and beta-blockers. Increased awareness about the possible adverse effects from these drugs are important.

Abstract
BackgroundHypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the prevalent inherited cardiomyopathy and a major contributor to sudden death and heart failure in young adults. Although depression has been associated with poor prognosis in patients with cardiovascular disease, the relationship between anxiety and HCM clinical outcomes has not been addressed. We aimed to determine the prevalence of anxiety symptoms in patients with HCM and the association between anxiety and adverse prognosis in this population.MethodsA total of 793 patients with HCM were prospectively enrolled and followed up for a mean of 4.1 years from March 2014 to January 2018. The primary endpoint was sudden cardiac death (SCD) events, and the secondary endpoint was HCM-related heart failure events. Anxiety symptoms were assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) during outpatient visits or hospital stays.ResultsElevated scores on the HADS anxiety subscale (HADS-A ≥ 8) were defined as clinically significant anxiety. SCD and HCM-related heart failure events occurred in 76 and 149 patients, respectively, during the follow-up period. Kaplan–Meier survival curves demonstrated the significant association of anxiety with SCD events (log-rank P = 0.012) and HCM-related heart failure events (log-rank P = 0.001). Multivariable Cox regression analysis showed anxiety as a predictor of SCD events and HCM-related heart failure events (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] = 1.42, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.12–2.04, P = 0.03; adjusted HR = 2.9,2 95% CI = 1.73–4.03, P < 0.001), independent of conventional risk factors and depression. Besides, patients with comorbid anxiety and depression showed a fourfold higher risk of heart failure events and 3.5-fold higher risk of SCD versus those with neither (adjusted HR = 4.08, 95% CI = 2.76–5.91, P < 0.001; adjusted HR = 3.52, 95% CI = 2.24–4.67, P < 0.001, respectively).ConclusionsAnxiety was prevalent among Chinese patients with HCM, and it was independently associated with a higher risk of SCD and HCM-related heart failure events, particularly when comorbid with depression. Psychological assessment and intervention should be considered to alleviate anxiety symptoms in this population.Clinical Trial Registrationhttp://www.chictr.org.cn, identifier: ChiCTR2000040759.

Abstract
Anxiety disorder is a prevalent psychiatric disease and imposes a significant influence on cardiovascular disease (CVD). Numerous evidence support that anxiety contributes to the onset and progression of various CVDs through different physiological and behavioral mechanisms. However, the exact role of nuclei and the association between the neural circuit and anxiety disorder in CVD remains unknown. Several anxiety-related nuclei, including that of the amygdala, hippocampus, bed nucleus of stria terminalis, and medial prefrontal cortex, along with the relevant neural circuit are crucial in CVD. A strong connection between these nuclei and the autonomic nervous system has been proven. Therefore, anxiety may influence CVD through these autonomic neural circuits consisting of anxiety-related nuclei and the autonomic nervous system. Neuromodulation, which can offer targeted intervention on these nuclei, may promote the development of treatment for comorbidities of CVD and anxiety disorders. The present review focuses on the association between anxiety-relevant nuclei and CVD, as well as discusses several non-invasive neuromodulations which may treat anxiety and CVD.

Abstract
Implementing cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), the first-line psychological treatment for panic disorder (PD), may be challenging in patients with comorbid coronary artery disease (CAD).This study aimed at assessing the feasibility and acceptability of a CBT for PD protocol that was adapted to patients suffering from comorbid CAD. It also aimed at evaluating the efficacy of the intervention to reduce PD symptomatology and psychological distress and improve quality of life. This was a single-case experimental design with pre-treatment, post-treatment and 6-month follow-up measures. Patients with PD and stable CAD received 14 to 17 individual, 1-h sessions of an adapted CBT for PD protocol. They completed interviews and questionnaires at pre-treatment, post-treatment and at a 6-month follow-up assessing intervention acceptability, PD symptomatology, psychological distress and quality of life. A total of 6 patients out of 7 completed the intervention and 6-month follow-up, indicating satisfactory feasibility. Acceptability was high (medians of ≥ 8.5 out of 9 and ≥ 80%) both at pre and post treatment. Remission rate was of 83% at post-treatment and 6-month follow-up. The intervention appeared to have positive effects on comorbid anxiety and depression symptoms and quality of life. The intervention appeared feasible and acceptable in patients with comorbid CAD. The effects of the adapted CBT protocol on PD symptoms, psychological distress and quality of life are promising and were maintained at the 6-month follow-up. Further studies should aim at replicating the present results in randomized-controlled trials

Abstract
Aim Suicide attempts are an important severe psychiatric symptom and a clear outcome for mental disorders. Although the relationship between the early repolarization pattern in electrocardiogram and psychiatric disorders has recently been reported, these reports have not been able to exclude the influence of psychiatric drugs. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the early repolarization pattern and a history of suicide attempts among patients not receiving psychiatric medication. Methods A total of 71 patients with a history of suicide attempts were investigated, 38 of whom were analyzed for this study. We compared the frequency of the early repolarization pattern between a suicide attempt group and a control group. Then, we investigated the association between the early repolarization pattern and the suicide attempt group by logistic regression analysis, including electrocardiographic findings associated with psychiatric disorders. Results The findings indicated that the frequency of the early repolarization pattern was significantly higher in the suicide attempt group (n = 20; 52.6%) than in the control group (n = 4; 10.5%) (P < 0.001), and the results of the logistic regression analysis indicated that the early repolarization pattern was associated with suicide attempts. Conclusions These findings suggest that the early repolarization pattern is associated with a history of suicide attempts.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease continues to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality despite significant advances in risk stratification and management. This has prompted the search for alternative nonconventional risk factors that may provide novel therapeutic targets. Psychosocial stress, or mental stress, has emerged as an important risk factor implicated in a higher incidence of cardiovascular events, and although our understanding of this far ranging and interesting phenomenon has developed greatly over recent times, there is still much to be learned regarding how to measure mental stress and how it may impact physical health. With the current coronavirus disease 2019 global pandemic and its incumbent lockdowns and social distancing, understanding the potentially harmful biological effects of stress related to life-changing events and social isolation has become even more important. In the current review our multidisciplinary team discusses stress from a psychosocial perspective and aims to define psychological stress as rigorously as possible; discuss the pathophysiologic mechanisms by which stress may mediate cardiovascular disease, with a particular focus to its effects on vascular health; outline existing methods and approaches to quantify stress by means of a vascular biomarker; outline the mechanisms whereby psychosocial stressors may have their pathologic effects ultimately transduced to the vasculature through the neuroendocrine immunologic axis; highlight areas for improvement to refine existing approaches in clinical research when studying the consequences of psychological stress on cardiovascular health; and discuss evidence-based therapies directed at reducing the deleterious effects of mental stress including those that target endothelial dysfunction. To this end we searched PubMed and Google Scholar to identify studies evaluating the relationship between mental or psychosocial stress and cardiovascular disease with a particular focus on vascular health. Search terms included "myocardial ischemia," "coronary artery disease," "mental stress," "psychological stress," "mental∗ stress∗," "psychologic∗ stress∗," and "cardiovascular disease∗." The search was limited to studies published in English in peer-reviewed journals between 1990 and the present day. To identify potential studies not captured by our database search strategy, we also searched studies listed in the bibliography of relevant publications and reviews.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psychological distress is more prevalent and severe among patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) compared to healthy individuals. Little is known regarding its time course, and whether these differences extend to individuals with non-cardiovascular (CV) illnesses. This study examined the presence, severity, and time course of psychological distress in men and women with CAD and those of similarly aged individuals suffering from non-CV conditions. METHODS 1229 individuals (61% men; meanage = 60.4 ± 7.0 years) with stable CAD or non-CV illnesses reported on social support, hostility, stress, anxiety and depression at baseline as well as 4.8 ± 0.8 years later. Analyses involved mixed (Sex*CAD status*Time) repeated measures analyses (controlling for relevant covariates), as well as Chi-square and McNemar analyses. RESULTS Women with CAD reported more symptoms of depression compared to other participants at both evaluations (p's < 0.01), and reported more symptoms of anxiety and stress compared to others at T1 (p's < 0.05). At T2, perceived stress remained significantly greater among women with CAD compared to men (p's < 0.01), though differences in anxiety were no longer significant. Men reported more hostility than women (p = 0.001). CAD women fell within the clinical range for depression (p < 0.001), anxiety (p = 0.001), and stress (p = 0.030) more frequently compared to others at T1, and for depression (p = 0.009) and stress (p = 0.002) at T2. CONCLUSIONS The evolution of patient distress differed as a function of the measure examined, their sex, and/or CV status. While psychological distress was prevalent among these patients with diverse health conditions, women with CAD were particularly and chronically vulnerable.

Relationship between dynamic changes of peri-procedure anxiety and short-term prognosis in patients undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention for coronary heart disease: A single-center, prospective study. PLoS One 2022; 17:e0266006. [PMID: 35363813 PMCID: PMC8974971 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0266006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2021] [Accepted: 03/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Background
Patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) often experience anxiety, but the current studies on anxiety mostly focused on a certain point in time. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the dynamic changes of peri-procedure anxiety, status of post-procedure quality of life, and cardiovascular readmission rates in patients with CHD who undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and to analyze the influence of peri-procedure anxiety on quality of life and readmission rate after PCI.
Methods
This prospective study was conducted at Changshu NO.1 People’s Hospital. A total of 220 patients with CHD undergoing elective PCI were selected as study subjects. The general information, clinical data, anxiety, quality of life and readmission of patients were collected. Multivariate linear regression was used to examine the effect of peri-procedure anxiety on quality of life, and multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the influence of peri-procedure anxiety on readmission rate.
Results
This study showed the anxiety scores at hospitalization appointment(T1), 3 days before procedure(T2), 1 day before procedure(T3), 1 day after procedure(T4) were 57(55,61),64(61,68),54(51.58), and 54(50,60), respectively. And, at 3 months and 6 months after PCI, the scores of Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) were 346.61(319.06,366.52) and 353.34(334.18,372.84) respectively. During 6 months follow-up, 54 cases were readmitted, with a readmission rate of 25.5%. Statistical analysis showed that T1 with anxiety (P = 0.002) and T2 with anxiety (P = 0.024) were independent risk factors for treatment satisfaction at 3 months after PCI. Anxiety in T4 (P = 0.005) was an independent risk factor on the angina frequency at 6 months after PCI. T2 with anxiety (B = 1.445, P = 0.010, 95%CI:1.409–12.773) and T4 without anxiety (B = -1.587, P = 0.042, 95%CI:-0.044–0.941) were risk factors affecting readmission for cardiovascular reasons within 6 months.
Conclusion
Patient anxiety at T1 and T2 affects the treatment satisfaction dimension of the SAQ at 3 months after PCI, and anxiety at T4 affects the angina frequency dimension of the SAQ at 6 months after PCI. Anxiety at T2 and no anxiety at T4 increase short-term readmission rates. In the future, interventions should be strengthened at various time points in the peri-procedure period to improve post-procedure rehabilitation effect.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Observational studies have shown an association between mental health and coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with diabetes. Nevertheless, whether these associations are causal is still unknown. In this two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study, we aimed to assess the causality between mental health and CAD in patients with diabetes. METHODS AND RESULTS Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with: depression (807,553 individuals), anxiety (83,556 individuals) and neuroticism (329,821 individuals) were identified from the largest genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Summary-level data for CAD were extracted from the recently published GWAS of 15,666 diabetic patients (3968 CAD cases and 11,696 controls). The inverse-variance weighted (IVW) method was used for the main analysis. Sensitivity analyses included weighted median, maximum likelihood, and the MR-Egger method. Genetic liability to depression was significantly associated with a higher risk of CAD in patients with diabetes (odds ratio [OR], 1.286; 95%CI,1.018-1.621;p = 0.035). For anxiety and neuroticism, no causal association with CAD in patients with diabetes was observed. Consistent results were obtained in most sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSIONS This MR study provides genetic evidence that depression is a potential risk factor for CAD in patients with diabetes. However, anxiety and neuroticism were not causally associated with CAD in patients with diabetes. Mental health treatments should be enhanced to prevent CAD in patients with diabetes.

Abstract
Previous studies that evaluated the influence of anxiety on recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) after catheter ablation showed inconsistent results. We performed a meta‐analysis of cohort study to systematically evaluate the association between anxiety and AF recurrence after catheter ablation. Electronic databases of PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science were searched for relevant cohort studies from inception to January 20, 2021. We applied the random‐effect model to combine the results to incorporate the potential influence of heterogeneity among studies. Five cohort studies were eligible for the meta‐analysis, which included 549 patients with AF that received catheter ablation. No significant heterogeneity was observed among the included studies (I2 = 7%, P for Cochrane's Q test = 0.37). During a mean follow‐up of 9.7 months, 216 (39.3%) cases of recurrent AF occurred. Results of the meta‐analysis showed that anxiety was independently associated with an increased risk of AF recurrence after catheter ablation (adjusted relative risk: 2.36, 95% confidence interval: 1.71–3.26; p < .001). Subgroup analyses did not show that differences in study characteristics including study design, ethnicity of the patients, sample size, AF type, anxiety evaluation method, follow‐up duration, or adjustment of LAD may significantly affect the association between anxiety and AF recurrence (p for subgroup difference all > .10). Anxiety may be an independent risk factor for AF recurrence after catheter ablation. Whether alleviating anxiety mood could reduce the risk of AF recurrence after catheter ablation should also be investigated.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic affected regular health care for patients with chronic diseases. However, the impact of the pandemic on primary care for patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) who are enrolled in a structured disease management program (DMP) in Germany is not clear. We investigated whether the pandemic affected primary care and health outcomes of DMP-CAD patients (n = 750) by using a questionnaire assessing patients' utilization of medical care, CAD symptoms, as well as health behavior and mental health since March 2020. We found that out of concern about getting infected with COVID-19, 9.1% of the patients did not consult a medical practitioner despite having CAD symptoms. Perceived own influence on infection risk was lower and anxiety was higher in these patients compared to symptomatic CAD patients who consulted a physician. Among the patients who reported chest pain lasting longer than 30 min, one third did not consult a medical practitioner subsequently. These patients were generally more worried about COVID-19. Patients with at least one worsening CAD symptom (chest pain, dyspnea, perspiration, or nausea without apparent reason) since the pandemic showed more depressive symptoms, higher anxiety scores, and were less likely to consult a doctor despite having CAD symptoms out of fear of infection. Our results provide evidence that the majority of patients received sufficient medical care during the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany. However, one in ten patients could be considered particularly at risk for medical undersupply and adverse health outcomes. The perceived infection risk with COVID-19 might have facilitated the decision not to consult a medical doctor.

Abstract
Ischemic heart disease (IHD) exhibits elevated comorbidity. However, few studies have systematically analyzed the comorbid status of IHD patients with respect to the entire spectrum of chronic diseases. This study applied network analysis to provide a complete picture of physical and mental comorbidities in hospitalized patients with IHD using large-scale administrative data. Hospital discharge records from a provincial healthcare database of IHD inpatients (n = 1,035,338) and one-to-one matched controls were included in this retrospective analysis. We constructed the phenotypic disease networks in IHD and control patients and further assessed differences in comorbidity patterns. The community detection method was applied to cluster diagnoses within the comorbidity network. Age- and sex-specific patterns of IHD comorbidities were also analyzed. IHD inpatients showed 50% larger comorbid burden when compared to controls. The IHD comorbidity network consisted of 1941 significant associations between 71 chronic conditions. Notably, the more densely connected comorbidities in IHD patients were not within the highly prevalent ones but the rarely prevalent ones. Two highly interlinked communities were detected in the IHD comorbidity network, where one included hypertension with heart and multi-organ failures, and another included cerebrovascular diseases, cerebrovascular risk factors and anxiety. Males exhibited higher comorbid burden than females, and thus more complex comorbidity relationships were found in males. Sex-specific disease pairs were detected, e.g., 106 and 30 disease pairs separately dominated in males and females. Aging accounts for the majority of comorbid burden, and the complexity of the comorbidity network increased with age. The network-based approach improves our understanding of IHD-related comorbidities and enhances the integrated management of patients with IHD.

Heart-Focused Anxiety Affects Behavioral Cardiac Risk Factors and Quality of Life: A Follow-Up Study Using a Psycho-Cardiological Rehabilitation Concept. Front Psychiatry 2022; 13:836750. [PMID: 35615455 PMCID: PMC9124936 DOI: 10.3389/fpsyt.2022.836750] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2021] [Accepted: 02/28/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Heart-focused anxiety (HFA) raises the risk for adverse outcomes in patients with heart disease. Despite this great importance, it is rarely assessed in clinical practice. Three dimensions are commonly defined in the context of HFA: heart-related fear, avoidance, and attention. The impact of these aspects on cardiac risk factors is essentially unclear. In this study, we investigated the relationship between HFA and behavioral cardiac risk factors as well as health-related quality of life (HRQoL), which represent important treatment outcomes of inpatient psycho-cardiological rehabilitation. METHODS A prospective observational design was used to examine 238 rehabilitation inpatients with comorbidity of cardiac disease and psychiatric disorder. We assessed HFA using the Cardiac Anxiety Questionnaire (CAQ), HRQoL using the SF-12 Health Survey, exercise capacity using the 6-minute walk test, and smoking behavior, respectively at admission (t0) and discharge (t1). Physical activity was assessed at t0 and in a follow-up survey 6 months after discharge (t2) using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Multiple regression models were used to analyze the predictive value of HFA for the outcome variables at t0, t1, and t2, adjusted for socio-demographic factors and depression. Predictive values for changes over time were evaluated by the regressor variable approach. RESULTS Exercise capacity and physical activity were negatively predicted by baseline heart-related avoidance, both cross-sectionally and prospectively. Avoidance at t1 also negatively predicted long-term changes over time in physical activity at t2. Total HFA and the subcomponent avoidance negatively predicted physical HRQoL both cross-sectionally and prospectively. Mental HRQoL was cross-sectionally predicted by heart-focused attention at t0, and prospectively predicted by total HFA and by avoidance. Regarding changes in the course of rehabilitation, baseline avoidance negatively predicted improvement in physical HRQoL during rehabilitation. Concerning smoking behavior, no associations with HFA were found. CONCLUSIONS HFA is a relevant inhibiting factor for the achievement of therapy goals in psycho-cardiological rehabilitation such as health behavior and HRQoL. Heart-related avoidance in particular, has a negative impact on exercise capacity, physical activity, and self-reported physical health. Its prospective negative predictive value for physical activity and physical health underlines the relevance of HFA for psycho-cardiological interventions.
