Description
Philip Leissner and co-authors run a randomised trial of online cognitive behavioural therapy after heart events with clear arteries, in a 2026 multicentre study. Patients with MINOCA or Takotsubo syndrome often face poor mental health and quality of life, with no proven treatments on offer.
Eighty-eight patients with raised stress or anxiety scores were split between the internet programme and a waiting list. After 10 to 12 weeks, the treated group showed a higher share reaching normal stress and anxiety levels, though that main gap fell short of statistical firmness. Secondary checks favoured treatment for anxiety relief and symptom scores, with gains of moderate size. Effects looked stronger in Takotsubo patients than in other cases.
