About
The hypothesis is that there is a significant difference in anxiety scores between intervention and usual care group after intervention. The aim of Heart & Mind Trial is (I) to determine the type of anxiety in cardiac patients and (ii) to investigate the effect of individual cognitive behavioural therapeutic intervention to reduce anxiety in patients with cardiac disease and anxiety compared to usual care.
Full description
The Heart & Mind Trial is an investigator-initiated randomised clinical superiority trial with blinded outcome assessment, including four university hospitals, with 1:1 randomisation to cognitive therapy plus usual care or usual care alone.
The intervention: all patients receive usual care. Patients in the intervention group will receive an intervention based on cognitive behavioral therapy.
The intervention consists of three steps: (1) screening of hospitalised and outpatient cardiac patients at four university hospitals using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), scores ≥8 are invited to participate. (2) Assessment of type of anxiety by Structured Clinical Interview for DSM Disorders (SCID). (3) Investigator-initiated randomised clinical superiority trial with blinded outcome assessment, with 1:1 randomisation to cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) performed by a cardiac nurse with (CBT) training, plus usual care or usual care alone.
