The Relationship Between Anxiety, Depression and Stent Restenosis After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

The Effects of Anxiety and Depression on Stent Restenosis in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Percutaneous coronary intervention is currently one of the effective methods for the treatment of ACS. Unfortunately, the incidence of ISR is as high as 10%-20% at 3-6 months after PCI. So it is necessary to identify the potential risk factors to provide evidence for the prevention of ISR. Current research shows that anxiety and depression are related to the increased risk of major adverse cardiac events and mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction. But there remains a relative paucity of evidence for the association between anxiety and depression and in-stent restenosis (ISR) .So a retrospective cohort study was conducted in the first hospital of Qinhuangdao in 2015-2020. The patients who underwent coronary angiography 1 year after PCI in our hospital from January 2015 to September 2020 were selected. Patients were divided into ISR and non-ISR groups depending on the follow-up coronary angiography results. Logistic regression model was utilized for analyzing the association of depression and anxiety with the in-stent restenosis (ISR) after PCI.

Percutaneous coronary intervention is currently one of the effective methods for the treatment of ACS. Unfortunately, postoperative in-stent restenosis (ISR) is still inevitable. The incidence of ISR is as high as 10%-20% at 3-6 months after PCI. And its prevention and treatment is very difficult clinical problems. So it is necessary to identify the potential risk factors to provide evidence for the prevention of ISR.

The patients who underwent coronary angiography 1 year after PCI in our hospital from January 2015 to September 2020 were selected. Patients were divided into ISR and non-ISR groups depending on the follow-up coronary angiography results. Every 3 months until 12 months, the patients were consecutively recruited and followed up. Anxiety and depression were assessed using the Zung self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), self-rating depression scale (SDS) and psychosomatic symptom scale at each follow-up timepoint. Relative clinical information was recorded and analyzed. Logistic regression model was utilized for analyzing the association of depression and anxiety with the in-stent restenosis (ISR) after PCI.
