Activity Summary

Required reading for all learners: Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes

Percutaneous coronary intervention has been the main percutaneous method of myocardial revascularization used in all clinical scenarios, but patients undergoing these procedures may experience negative physiological and psychological changes. The main psychological changes found after percutaneous coronary intervention were increased anxiety and depression. Anxiety and depression levels were reduced at long-term follow-up. Physiological changes included fatigue, shortness of breath, and chest discomfort. The results of this review show an urgent need for health care professionals to better assess patients’ psychological state and employ strategies aimed at providing comprehensive care.

Objectives

  • Identify the physiological changes presented by patients undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions.
  • Examine the psychological changes presented by patients undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions.
  • Review possible strategies to address the physiological and psychological changes post percutaneous coronary interventions.
