Core Tip
Core Tip: Psychological care interventions have led to statistically significant improvements in both emotional distress and treatment compliance among older adult patients with coronary heart disease. These interventions are associated with clinically meaningful reductions in depressive and anxiety symptoms while enhancing treatment adherence and overall care. The implementation of structured psychological care protocols provides substantial long-term benefits for this patient population. Our findings indicate that such interventions are linked to a measurable reduction in cardiovascular event rates and significant improvements across multiple quality-of-life domains, including physical functioning, social functioning, and both emotional and physical role performance.
