Although, in the last decade, there has been increasing attention in the literature to the relationship between CA and psychological distress in patients, the evidence on this association has not yet been systematised.

Moreover, while disease severity was not found to be associated with psychological distress in CA patients in all studies considered, more heterogeneous results emerged regarding the association between the severity of cardiac symptoms and psychological distress.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Results suggest that psychological distress is an important aspect to be considered when dealing with CA patients.
