Summary

The purpose of the present pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility and potential efficacy of a brief, internet-delivered CBT protocol provided early after acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

Conditions

  • Psychological Trauma
  • Acute Coronary Syndrome

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Brief exposure-based CBT

The 5-week intervention is psychologist-guided and delivered via text-based interactive online treatment modules, where patients complete weekly homework assignments and have regular online contact with psychologists with training in CBT for cardiac disease. Key components include imaginal exposure of the ACS event, interoceptive exposure through at home physical activity that stimulats the CV system, exposure in-vivo to reduce avoided situations, and activities to enhance physical activity wellbeing. Labeling (i.e., describing cardiac-related symptoms, thoughts, and feelings) will be used continuously during treatment to enhance the effect of exposure.
