- The aim of the present study was to illustrate how a patient with a myocardial infarction history may experience current anxiety. We conducted the assessment using a phenomenological method. The participant was a 62-year old man, chronically ill due to two myocardial infarctions and heart failure. Five categories emerged from the data: distress, worthlessness, insecurity, indifference, and lack of strength, illustrating feelings embedded in the current anxiety. These feelings relate to past and present experiences as well as to an insecure future. The findings are not generalizable in a statistical manner, but they are an illustration of the importance of identifying a cardiac patient’s current anxiety from a holistic perspective, in order to understand what is occurring emotionally and to understand the need for emotional support. Qualities in the caring relationship may create possibilities for this patient to receive and perceive emotional support. © 2019 Springer Nature Switzerland AG. Part of Springer Nature.

- The aim of this study was to determine the long-term effects on myocardial infarction (MI) patients of a six-month comprehensive rehabilitation programme (CRP) conducted by an interdisciplinary team regarding cardiac events, physical and psychological conditions, life habits, and cardiac health knowledge. The results of a multivariate analysis carried out five years after the MI showed that cardiac events and psychological condition were not significantly influenced by the CRP. However, it was found that the physical condition of the patients benefited from the CRP; self-reported physical fitness (p < 0.002) and physical exercise test (p < 0.007). CRP participation was linked to significant modifications of life habits (diet change; p < 0.04, sexual activity; p < 0.000). The cardiac health knowledge was significantly improved by participation in the CRP (basic cardiac knowledge; p < 0.005; knowledge about misconceptions; p < 0.04). In conclusion, CRPs have had positive long-term effects on physical condition, life habits and cardiac health knowledge. No such effects, however, were found regarding either cardiac events or psychological condition.
