Core Tip
Core Tip: Patients with coronary heart disease may experience negative emotions, such as anxiety and depression, which affect disease progression. This study found a correlation between anxiety and depression, fear of disease progression, and social support level and confirmed it through a multiple linear regression model. By probing the factors that affect patients’ negative emotions, this study provides a reference for medical staff to formulate reasonable intervention measures.
