Prior to the intervention, the general clinical data of the enrolled patients, such as gender, age, comorbidities (hypertension, diabetes) and smoking history, were compared, which revealed no statistical differences between the two groups (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &amp;gt; 0.05). The control group was given routine treatments such as reperfusion and secondary prevention of coronary heart disease, while the treatment group was given Psycho-Cardiology intervention in addition to the aforementioned treatments.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>No significant differences in PHQ-9 and GAD-7 scores were observed between the control and treatment groups at admission (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &amp;gt; 0.05). After the Psycho-Cardiology treatment, the PHQ-9 and GAD-7 scores of the treatment group decreased significantly. Based on the 1-year post-treatment comparison, the left ventricular ejection fraction was improved more significantly in the Psycho-Cardiology treatment group, showing statistical significance (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.05). The treatment group exhibited statistically significantly low incidences of adverse cardiovascular events, such as recurrent angina pectoris, heart failure, malignant arrhythmia, recurrent myocardial
