Current treatment alternatives rarely address these issues. The planned <i>E-health Treatment of Stress and Anxiety in Stockholm Myocardial Infarction With Non-obstructive Coronaries Study</i> (e-SMINC) aims to evaluate the effects of an internet-based intervention, building on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) by comparison with treatment as usual using an RCT approach. This was a small-scale single arm study designed to test the feasibility of the RCT, addressing uncertainties regarding recruitment, data collection, and intervention delivery.<h4>Methods</h4>Participant recruitment aInternet interventions100562https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9334337biostudies-literatureReducing stress and anxiety in patients with myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries or Takotsubo syndrome: A non-randomized feasibility study.PMC9334337Spaak JRondung ENorlund FSundelin RHeld CLynga PTornvall PHumphries SMOlsson EMGfalseReducing stress and anxiety in patients with myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries or Takotsubo syndrome: A non-randomized feasibility study.<h4>Background and aim</h4>In the aftermath of a myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) or Takotsubo syndrome (TS), patients commonly express high levels of stress and anxiety.
