Abstract:
Objective:To identify the risk factors of anxiety disorders among patients undergoing coronary angiography (CAG) and to determine whether the decision of revascularization affect anxiety level following coronary angiography.
Methods:A total of 379 patients undergoing CAG in Fuwai Hospital from Dec. 2012 to Dec. 2013 were invited to participate this study. A data-collecting form, which included questions about demographic features, health history, Type A Behavior Questionnaire (TABQ) and Self Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), was completed by the participants on the day before and the day after CAG.
Result:Among these patients, SAS score of both before and the day after CAG were higher than Chinese normative SAS score. Female patients had a higher SAS score level than male patients (40.57±9.53 vs 38.26±9.61, P<0.05) before CAG. Patients with these factors of female, over 50 years old, duration of coronary artery disease over 1 year, lower education level had a higher SAS score after CAG. SAS score declined signiifcantly after CAG except those scheduled to receive CABG. Multivariable linear analysis found the D-value between SAS scores before and after CAG was negative correlated with degree of education and positive correlated with the duration of coronary artery disease.
Conclusion:The anxiety level decreased after CAG, except those who need coronary revascularization surgery.
