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.Learners must complete the entire activity and the associated evaluation AND read Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes.
