Abstract:

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is one of the most important therapeutic measures for coronary heart disease. It can quickly and effectively relieve coronary artery obstruction. Patients with coronary heart disease often suffer from the complication of emotional disorders like anxiety and depression. The incidence of anxiety and depression in patients having undergone PCI is significantly higher in those having not. But anxiety and depression can remarkably increase the major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in patients after PCI. This article reviews the associations, mechanisms and treatments of anxiety and depression after PCI.

Key words: coronary heart disease, anxiety, depression, percutaneous coronary intervention
