Improving mental well-being in psychocardiology-a feasibility trial for a non-blended web application as a brief metacognitive-based intervention in cardiovascular disease patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Many patients with cardiovascular disease also show a high comorbidity of mental disorders, especially such as anxiety and depression. This is, in turn, associated with a decrease in the quality of life. Psychocardiological treatment options are currently limited. Hence, there is a need for novel and accessible psychological help.
