What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess the long-term effects of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) on patients with coronary heart disease, focusing on the psychological risk factors that may influence their prognosis. It seeks to understand the interplay between psychological factors and cardiovascular outcomes, as well as the adherence to current treatment guidelines. The study will involve a large real-world clinical sample to gather data on the emotional and psychological well-being of patients post-PCI.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are patients who have undergone percutaneous coronary intervention and can communicate effectively in Dutch.

Not a fit: Patients with life-threatening comorbidities or cognitive disorders may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved psychological screening and support for patients undergoing PCI, enhancing their overall health outcomes.

How similar studies have performed: While there is limited long-term follow-up data on the psychological impacts of PCI, the study's approach to examining multiple psychological risk factors is relatively novel.
