Abstract
Stable angina (a symptom of heart disease) is very common across the world. Cardiac rehabilitation reduces cardiac mortality by up to 26%, but is not routinely offered to people with angina. In addition, common misconceptions about living with angina are stronger predictors of future physical and psychological functioning than severity of the underlying condition. As people with angina have higher risk of anxiety and depression, exercise-based rehabilitation is not enough – there is a need for angina rehabilitation that includes psychological treatments and counselling to dispel misconceptions. This paper discusses the effects on outcome of such cognitive behavioural angina rehabilitation programmes.
