This study aimed to determine the level of resilience as an important predictor of mental well-being among cardiovascular disease (CVD) patients. Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death globally. As the disease progresses, it carries with it a tremendous increase of mental health consequences such as depression. This study provides an important contribution to a growing field of research of resilience that tries to predict the mental well-being of cardiovascular patients.
