Psychological management of the myocardial infarction patient.

The acute coronary experience is divided into three parts. In the first, the pre-hospital phase, attention is devoted to the widespread phenomenon of patient delay. Evidence is given to indicate that the source of delay is entirely psychological and centers around the inability to decide whether or not to seek help. The second part, or hospital phase, describes the response of the patient to the various aspects of the coronary care unit, including monitoring, false alarms, witnessing and sustaining a cardiac arrest. The third phase, the post-hospital convalescence, centers on the principal psychological problem of this period, depression. Its causes, manifestations, and methods of management are discussed.
