Cognitive adaptation, psychological adjustment, and disease progression among angioplasty patients: 4 years later
Article Abstract:
The long-term effect of the Cognitive Adaptation Theory Index (CATI) on psychological and physical health outcomes among men (n=199) and women (n=99) treated for coronary artery disease with percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty is examined. The study revealed that positive views of the self and the future continue to have implications for men's and women's adjustment to heart disease, even 4 years after an initial angioplasty.
