Core Tip
Core Tip: Patients with coronary heart disease often experience pronounced anxiety due to symptoms such as chest tightness and pain. This study demonstrated that echocardiographic indicators are correlated not only with the severity of coronary artery disease but also with patients’ anxiety levels. Integrating anxiety assessment into coronary heart disease management may help improve cardiac function and alleviate symptoms more effectively.
