Patients who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for coronary heart disease often suffer from depression, anxiety, sleep problems, poor medication adherence, and physical symptoms, which can raise their risk of further cardiovascular events.

This article reviews the application of MBSR in post-PCI patients and discusses its future potential.
