| Summary: | Objective: The relationship between psychological factors and cardiac diseases has been concerned for a long but
our knowledge about the cognitive profiles which could be important etiological factor in cardiac disease and comorbid
psychiatric disorders is limited. In this study, we aimed to compare the cognitive profiles of coronary artery disease
patients with or without comorbid anxiety disorder.
Method: A total of 35 coronary artery disease patients with anxiety disorder and 20 coronary artery disease patients
without comorbid anxiety disorders were enrolled into the study. Beck Anxiety Inventory and the Young Schema
Questionnaire-Short Form 3 were applied to each participant.
Results: Disconnection, rejection, impaired autonomy self-manifestation, extreme vigilance, unrelenting standards,
other-directedness, and impaired limits schema domain scores were significantly higher in coronary artery disease
patients with anxiety disorder comorbidity compared to coronary artery disease patients without anxiety disorder.
Conclusion: Our study has revealed significant differences in cognitive profiles of coronary artery disease patients with
comorbidity of anxiety disorders. These findings show the importance of cognitive profiles which were observed in
coronary artery disease patients with anxiety disorders. Schema-focused approach might be useful in the treatment of
such patients. Further studies with schema-focused therapy approaches are needed to illustrate the issue. |
