Allocation: RandomizedIntervention Model: Parallel AssignmentMasking: None (Open Label)Masking Description: Because of the conditions required for psycho-educational interventions, it is not possible to blind the intervention staff and patients. All baseline information and clinical interviews are collected and performed before randomization. Physical tests, data collection, data management and administration will be done by blinded staff. Statistical analysis of outcomes and conclusions from these will be blinded. Results of the trial are analysed by an independent statistician, and the results will be interpreted by the research group. The conclusion will be prepared in two versions, before the allocation code is broken, with the two arms alternately assumed as intervention (one that assumes that arm A is the intervention, and second, that assumes that the arm B intervention).Primary Purpose: Screening

The Heart & Mind Trial is an investigator-initiated randomised clinical superiority trial with blinded outcome assessment, including four university hospitals, with 1:1 randomisation to cognitive therapy plus usual care or usual care alone. The intervention: all patients receive usual care. Patients in the intervention group will receive an intervention based on cognitive behavioral therapy. The intervention consists of three steps: (1) screening of hospitalised and outpatient cardiac patients at four university hospitals using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), scores ?8 are invited to participate. (2) Assessment of type of anxiety by Structured Clinical Interview for DSM Disorders (SCID). (3) Investigator-initiated randomised clinical superiority trial with blinded outcome assessment, with 1:1 randomisation to cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) performed by a cardiac nurse with (CBT) training, plus usual care or usual care alone.
