“…This dysfunctional response style has been shown to intensify depressed mood, to impair interpersonal problem solving, and to lead to more pessimistic future perspectives and less social support. Similar results have been reported for patients with coronary heart disease showing that rumination is associated with emotional distress after cardiac surgery (Schröder et al, 1998), and with perceived stress in patients scheduled for angiography (Closa Leon et al, 2010). In patients after an MI rumination was positively associated with depression (Garnefski et al, 2009) and predicted depression scores 1 year later (Garnefski and Kraaji, 2010).…”

The present study investigated cardiac threat appraisal and its association with depression after first myocardial infarction (MI). A semi-structured interview allowing for DSM-IV-axis I diagnoses was administered to 36 patients after first MI. Patients completed self-reports 5–15 days after the MI (time 1), 6–8 weeks later (time 2), and again 6 months later (time 3). Assessments at time 1 included indices of cardiac threat appraisal, locus of control, coping, and depression while at time 2 and time 3 only measures of depression were obtained. Cardiac threat appraisal was significantly correlated with depression at time 1, but was unrelated to depression scores at time 2 and time 3. Furthermore, there was a significant inverse association between cardiac threat appraisal and the subscales “search for affiliation” and “threat minimization” of the coping questionnaire. Additionally, “search for affiliation” correlated negatively with depression scores at time 1 and time 3, and “threat minimization” negatively with depression scores at time 1 and time 2. These results suggest a significant association between cardiac threat appraisal and depressive symptoms shortly after MI. Practical implications for treatment are discussed.

“…Moreover these studies have found different results. Closa Leon et al [59] have conducted an observational study on one hundred and one patients scheduled for elective coronary angiography and have found, as expected, that participants who reported lower levels of social support were more anxious about undergoing surgery and reported more cardiac symptoms [59]. Findings of this study suggest so that patients awaiting angiography who have more social support from family and friends experience lower levels of anxiety concerning the anticipated medical procedure and report fewer cardiac symptoms, than their more socially isolated counterparts.…”

A narrative review of the major evidence concerning the relationship between anxiety, social support and cardiac disease was conducted. Literature demonstrates that a strict relationship between anxiety, social support and cardiac disease outcomes subsists. However, the function of social support within anxiety and heart disease association remains unclear and needs to further researches to be established. Moreover evidence suggests that it’s the quality of close relationships to play an important role in affecting psychological and physiological health status. The main components that the literature suggests for a better quality of social support and close relationship, and the main assessment measure are presented. Evidence about cardiac rehabilitation programs and the need to assess and intervene on psychological and psychosocial factors is discussed.

“…It was demonstrated that noninvasive methods such as CT virtual colonoscopy [15], MR cholangiopancreatography [16], and MR angiography of the carotid arteries [17] are more widely accepted by patients than the traditional invasive approaches [18][19][20][21][22][23].…”

“…In fact, the success of a method is undeniably associated with the intrinsic acceptance of the method by the patients, who are increasingly pursuing noninvasive and outpatient diagnostic examinations [14]. On the one hand, recent studies have shown that noninvasive tools such as CT virtual colonoscopy [15], magnetic resonance (MR) cholangiopancreatography [16], and MR angiography of the carotid arteries [17] are widely accepted by patients more than the traditional invasive approach, on the other hand it is known that conventional coronary angiography (CCA) may cause intense concern and anxiety in the patients and affect their quality of life especially in the hours before the examination, with the need for pharmacological and/or psychological treatment [18][19][20][21][22][23].…”

Purpose This study was done to evaluate the psychological state and anxiety of patients undergoing computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA), and assess their acceptance and satisfaction compared to invasive conventional coronary angiography (CCA). Materials and methods A total of 442 consecutive patients (282 male; mean age 57.7 ± 9.5 years) who underwent CTCA for suspected or known coronary artery disease were evaluated with the Endler Multimodality Anxiety Scales (EMAS) before and after the scan, and a questionnaire administered after the scan. Among the 442 patients, 181 had a history of CCA. Two radiologists assessed the image quality of CTCA.
