Summary
Psychosocial factors play an important role in the pathophysiology of acute myocardial
infarction (AMI), but it is not known if psychotherapy is beneficial after the contemporary
treatment of AMI consisting of medical and interventional therapy.
The investigators have designed a randomized, controlled study to assess the effects of
short-term psychotherapy (STP) on the clinical outcomes of patients who have undergone an
emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) post-AMI.
