Background: There is a strong association between chronic ischemia and autonomic imbalance. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) may restore autonomic balance in patients with stable coronary artery disease (SCAD), which is characterized by increased heart rate variability (HRV). Anxiety is often found in patients who are going to undergo invasive procedures and has been identified to induce autonomic imbalance. The aim of our study is to identify the impact of preprocedural anxiety on increased HRV following an elective PCI.
Methods: Our study was a pretest and post-test correlation study involving 44 SCAD patients who underwent elective PCI at Cipto Mangunkusumo National Hospital. The HRV was measured before and after PCI. Anxiety symptoms were evaluated using Hospital Anxiety Depression Score (HADS) questionnaires.
Results: We found a higher increase on HRV parameter following the PCI of subjects in the nonanxiety group compared with the anxiety group (median = 9.11 vs. 2.83; = 154.00; =0.043).
Conclusions: Preprocedural anxiety may inhibit HRV increase following PCI procedure.

The Effect of Providing Video-Animated Information to Female Patients With Stress Urinary Incontinence Before the Urodynamic Study on the Patient's Anxiety, Pain, Satisfaction, and Willingness to Repeat the Procedure.
Low Urin Tract Symptoms
January 2025
Department of Urology, School of Medicine, Sakarya University, Sakarya, Turkey.
Objectives: To investigate the effect of providing video-animated information to female patients with stress urinary incontinence before urodynamics on the patient's anxiety, pain, satisfaction, and willingness to repeat the procedure.
Methods: Before the procedure, patients were divided into two groups with 1:1 randomization. While one group was given written and verbal information, the other group was additionally given animated video information accompanied by a doctor.
A Randomized Trial of Cardiac Catheterization With Fasting Versus Liberal Oral Intake: The CALORI Trial.
J Soc Cardiovasc Angiogr Interv
December 2024
Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, Virginia.
Background: Routine preprocedural fasting before cardiac catheterization remains common practice, despite a lack of robust evidence to support this practice. We investigated the impact of a liberal nonfasting strategy vs a standardized nil per os (NPO) regimen prior to cardiac catheterization.
Methods: Adult inpatients undergoing elective or urgent cardiac catheterization were randomized (1:1 ratio) to either NPO past midnight or ad libitum intake of liquids and solids (without dietary constraints) until immediately prior to the procedure.
Do Extended Reality Interventions Benefit Patients Undergoing Elective Cardiac Surgical and Interventional Procedures? A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
J Clin Nurs
December 2024
School of Health, Wellbeing and Social Care, Faculty of Wellbeing, Education and Language Studies, The Open University, Milton Keynes, UK.
Article Synopsis
- Extended reality (XR) interventions, particularly virtual reality (VR), may reduce anxiety for patients undergoing cardiac surgeries but have not shown significant effects on pain levels.
- A systematic review of 22 studies highlighted that while VR significantly decreased pre- and peri-procedural anxiety, many of the studies were at high risk for bias.
- Additional potential benefits of VR include enhancing pre-procedural knowledge and improving physical and emotional well-being, although the evidence for these effects is inconsistent.
Identification of risk factors for emergence delirium in children undergoing magnetic resonance imaging.
J Pediatr Nurs
November 2024
University of Nebraska Medical Center, Department of Biostatistics, Omaha, NE, United States of America.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify risk factors for emergence delirium (ED) in children aged 2 to 7 years undergoing anesthesia for MRI, noting that ED is a concern during recovery.
- Researchers used specific behavioral and anxiety assessment tools, finding that 16.9% of the 136 children studied experienced ED, with a notable association to shorter arousal time post-anesthesia.
- Findings suggest that further interdisciplinary research is needed to identify pre-procedural predictors and develop targeted interventions to reduce the occurrence of ED in pediatric patients.
