[PMID: 38418239 PMCID: PMC10910689 DOI: 10.1136/bmjopen-2023-079298] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2023] [Accepted: 02/13/2024] [Indexed: 03/01/2024] Open
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. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ChiCTR2300075813.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW In this article, we discuss the relationship between emotional distress and common cardiovascular disease condition, including coronary artery disease, atrial fibrillation, congestive heart failure, mechanical circulatory support, and heart transplant. We review screening measures that have been studied and used in clinical practice for each condition, as well as priorities for future research. RECENT FINDINGS Studies consistently demonstrate failing to identify and treat emotional distress in patients with cardiovascular disease is associated with adverse outcomes. However, routine emotional distress screening is not formally recommended for all cardiovascular disease conditions and is limited to depression screening in select patient populations. Future research should focus on evaluating the validity and reliability of standardized screening measures across the scope of emotional distress in patients with or at risk for cardiovascular disease. Other areas of future research include implementation of evidence-based pharmaceutical treatments and integrated behavioral health approaches and interventions.

Xinkeshu for coronary heart disease complicated with anxiety or depression: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2023; 312:116486. [PMID: 37072088 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2023.116486] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2022] [Revised: 03/13/2023] [Accepted: 04/09/2023] [Indexed: 05/08/2023]
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
OBJECTIVES Mental health conditions in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) are closely related to clinical outcomes. Thus, this study's goal is to investigate how CHD affects general and specific aspects of mental health. METHODS We analyzed data from Wave 10 Understanding Society: the UK Household Longitudinal Study (UKHLS), which were collected between 2018 and 2019. After removing people who had missing data, there were 450 participants who indicated that they have CHD, and 6138 age- and sex-matched healthy participants indicated that they were not clinically diagnosed with CHD. RESULTS The main findings were that participants with CHD had more mental health problems, as shown by the GHQ-12 summary score (t (449) = 6.00, p < 0.001, 95% C.I. [0.20, 0.40], Cohen's d = 0.30), social dysfunction and anhedonia, (t (449) = 5.79, p < 0.001, 95% C.I. [0.20, 0.40], Cohen's d = 0.30), depression and anxiety (t (449) = 5.04, p < 0.001, 95% C.I. [0.15, 0.33], Cohen's d = 0.24), and loss of confidence (t (449) = 4.46, p < 0.001, 95% C.I. [0.11, 0.30], Cohen's d = 0.21). CONCLUSION This study implies that GHQ-12 is a valid assessment of mental health problems in CHD patients, and there is a need to consider how different aspects of mental health are affected by CHD rather than solely focusing on depression or anxiety problems alone in patients with CHD.

Abstract
This study sought to assess the association between vitamin D deficiency (VDD) and chest pain, anxiety, and fatigue in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). A cross-sectional study was conducted to collect data from a sample of 90 participants with CAD. Serum 25OHD3 was measured using a radioimmunoassay procedure. Chest pain was assessed using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale, anxiety using the Anxiety Subscale, and fatigue by the General Fatigue subscale. The majority of participants (80%) had VDD. Results showed that the level of vitamin D was significantly negatively associated with chest pain (r = -.43, p = .00); anxiety (r = -.466, p = .00); and fatigue (r = -.25, p = .018). Findings suggest the role of VDD in heightened central sensitivity in cardiac-related symptoms such as chest pain, anxiety, and fatigue. Patients with CAD should be monitored for VDD so that the condition can be corrected.

Abstract
Background:Sexual function in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVDs) is often associated with anxiety and irrational beliefs. Moreover, 60-78% of patients with CVDs report sexual problems. Some studies suggest that sexual counseling is necessary for these patients but is not usually provided for them. Online or telephone counseling may be helpful during the covid-19 pandemic, but studies on its application to sexual function appear to be limited. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of online vs. telephone counseling of rational-emotional-behavioral therapy (REBT) on the sexual function of women undergoing cardiac rehabilitation. Materials and Methods: In this randomized clinical trial study, 46 women diagnosed with CVDs under rehabilitation were assigned into online and telephone groups. Overall, eight 60-min intervention sessions were held (once a week). The Female's Sexual Function Index (FSFI) questionnaire was completed by the women at baseline, week 8th, and follow-up week 12th (main outcome). Results: FSFI scores between the two groups at baseline (online: 13.28±2, telephone: 12.68±1.52, P=0.254) compared to week 12th (online 28.86±2.44, telephone, 26.6±2.10, P=0.002) were significantly different. As for within-group comparison in baseline compared to week 12th statistically significant difference was observed in all subscales of FSFI (P=0.05). Conclusion: Online and telephone REBT counseling can improve the sexual function of women undergoing cardiac rehabilitation, but online counseling appears to be more effective. Thus, this method is recommended to improve the sexual function of these women during the covid-19 pandemic. [GMJ.2022;11:e2396].

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anxiety can negatively affect patients' prognosis in cardiovascular disease. Aromatherapy helps reduce anxiety level in chronic diseases. However, the effectiveness of aromatherapy on anxiety and haemodynamic variables remains uncertain. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the evidence for the effectiveness of aromatherapy on anxiety and haemodynamic variables in patients with cardiovascular disease. DESIGN A systematic review and meta-analysis. REVIEW METHODS The CINAHL COMPLETE, Cochrane Central, Web of Science, Pubmed, Scopus, Science Direct, Ovid and ProQuest databases were searched. The study was conducted in line with the Cochrane and PRISMA guideline. Examination for bias in the included studies was conducted with the Cochrane bias guideline. Heterogeneity and publication bias were evaluated. RESULTS Twelve studies published from 2012 to 2020 were included in the meta-analysis. Lavender aromatherapy inhalation was used the most for anxiety in patients. Aromatherapy had a highly significant effect on anxiety, systolic blood pressure and heart rate, a moderate effect on breathing rate and a non-significant effect on diastolic blood pressure. The Cochrane GRADE approach was used to assess the rating of the certainty of evidence. A high level of evidence was found for the effect of aromatherapy on heart rate, a moderate level for the effect of aromatherapy on anxiety and breathing rate and a low level for the effects of aromatherapy on blood pressure and lavender on anxiety. CONCLUSION It was found that aromatherapy reduced anxiety, systolic blood pressure, heart rate and breathing rate in patients with cardiovascular disease. This study provides information to researchers and health professionals about the effectiveness of aromatherapy on decreasing anxiety and haemodynamic variables in patients with cardiovascular disease. Also, the study can contribute to planning studies which are better designed, conducted and reported.

Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this review was to evaluate the effect of exercise therapy on anxiety and depression symptoms in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). Methods: A systematic review of papers published between January 2000 and February 2021 was conducted. MEDLINE, Embase, the Cochrane Library and Web of Science were searched. Meta-analysis was used to compare the results of the included studies. Bias risk assessment was performed using the Cochrane Collaboration bias risk tool. If half or more of the seven items in Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were low-risk, then the RCT was considered low-risk research; otherwise, it was high-risk. Statistical analyses were performed using RevMan version 5.3 and STATA version 12.0. Results: We performed a meta-analysis of 11 randomized clinical studies including 771 subjects. Eight studies (73%) were of high quality. Compared with the control group, the exercise group showed a significant improvement in anxiety [standard mean difference (SMD) = −0.61; 95% confidence interval (CI): −0.86, −0.35]. The depression level in the exercise group was also significantly reduced (SMD = −0.48; 95% CI: −0.92, −0.04). Aerobic fitness and athletic endurance also improved [mean difference (MD) = 0.77; 95% CI: 0.58, 0.95; and MD = 20.69; 95% CI: 6.91, 34.46; respectively]. Conclusions: This meta-analysis suggests that exercise therapy may be effective in alleviating anxiety and depression symptoms in patients with coronary heart disease. Due to methodological weaknesses, rigorous research needs to be designed to further confirm the effectiveness of exercise therapy in improving the mental health of patients with coronary heart disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With the acceleration of the pace of life, the phenomenon of anxiety and depression in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) is more and more common, and "psycho-cardiology" arises spontaneously. At present, the drug treatments of psycho-cardiology are difficult to achieve satisfactory results, and the side effects are obvious. Complementary and replacement therapies of CHD complicated with anxiety or depression disorder play an increasingly positive role, but there is a lack of comparison among different complementary and alternative therapies. In this study, Bayesian network meta-analysis (NMA) analysis method will be used for the first time to synthesize all the evidences of direct and indirect comparison among a variety of interventions, and rank their effectiveness and safety. METHODS Two independent researchers will search from the beginning to January 2021 mainly including randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and closely related ongoing RCTs of complementary and alternative therapies for CHD complicated with anxiety or depression disorder. And then identify, select and extract the data. The primary outcome measures are frequency of acute attack angina, severity of angina pectoris; the changed score in the validated scales, which can assess severity of anxiety or depression. Secondary outcomes include total efficacy rate, electrocardiogram improvement, traditional Chinese medicine symptoms score, changes of dosage of nitroglycerin and adverse effects. Using softwares WinBUGS 1.4.3 and STATA 16.0 for pairwise meta-analysis and NMA to comprehensively evaluate various interventions. The quality of evidences will be evaluated through the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation. RESULTS This NMA will comprehensively compare and rank the efficacy and safety of a series of complementary and alternative therapies in the treatment of CHD complicated with anxiety or depression disorder. CONCLUSION Supplementary and replacement therapies play an essential role in improving CHD complicated with anxiety or depression disorder. We expect that the NMA will provide reliable evidences of evidence-based medicine for treatment of CHD complicated with anxiety or depression disorder. PROTOCOL REGISTRATION NUMBER INPLASY202120046.

Abstract
Anxiety is associated with many forms and facets of heart disease, and, by extension, neurologic manifestations of heart disease. Despite its seeming self-evidence, anxiety is challenging to consistently define, measure, and operationalize in the context of medical research. Various diagnostic nosologies have been defined and refined over time, but anxiety is also a universal human experience that may be "normal" in many circumstances, particularly in the face of major medical issues. For these and other reasons, the research on anxiety and heart disease is mixed, incomplete, and often characterized by challenging questions of causality. Nonetheless, a broad body of literature has established clear connections between anxiety and vascular risk factors, cardiac disease, and cardiac surgery. These relationships are often intuitive, with research suggesting, for example, that chronic activation of the sympathetic nervous system is associated with increased risk of heart disease. However, they are sometimes complexly reciprocal or even surprising (e.g., with high-anxiety individuals found to have better outcomes in some cardiac conditions by virtue of seeking evaluation and treatment earlier). This chapter reviews the construct of anxiety and its complexities, its associations with heart disease, and the established treatments for anxiety, concluding with questions about anxiety, heart disease, and their optimal management that still need to be answered.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Use of the subcutaneous implantable defibrillator (S-ICD) has increased because the device received US Food and Drug Administration approval in 2012, but we still know little about whether the quality of life (QoL) of patients with an S-ICD versus a transvenous ICD (TV-ICD) is comparable. We compared S-ICD patients with TV-ICD patients on QoL, depression, and anxiety up to 12 months' follow-up. METHODS A matched cohort of S-ICD (N = 167) and TV-ICD patients (N = 167) completed measures on QoL, depression, anxiety, and personality at baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months post implant. Data were analyzed using multivariable modeling with repeated measures. RESULTS In adjusted analyses, we found no statistically significant differences between cohorts on physical and mental QoL and depression (all Ps > .05), while S-ICD patients reported lower anxiety than TV-ICD patients (P = 0.0007). Both cohorts experienced improvements in physical and mental QoL and symptoms of depression and anxiety over time (all Ps < .001), primarily between implant and 3 months. These improvements were similar for both cohorts with respect to physical and mental QoL and anxiety (Ps > .05), while S-ICD patients experienced greater reductions in depressive symptoms (P = .0317). CONCLUSION The QoL and depression levels were similar in patients with an S-ICD and a TV-ICD up to 12 months' follow-up, while S-ICD patients reported lower anxiety levels and a greater reduction in depression over time as compared to TV-ICD patients. This knowledge may be important for patients and clinicians, if the indication for implantation allows both the S-ICD and the TV-ICD, making a choice possible.
