Results Compared with normal participants, patients experienced more negative emotion [（5.0±3.4） vs.（3.3±3.6）], showed lower cognitive ability [（15.1±9.5） vs.（10.8±7.9）] and had lower self-evaluation [（13.1±7.6） vs.（9.8±5.4）] （P〈0.05） . Conclusion The mental health of coronary heart disease patients with recurrent chest pain after PCI and CABG is relative poor, the major problems are negative emotion, lowered cognitive ability and decreased self-evaluation. So the contents of psychological intervention should be purposely included when establishing a compound rehabilitation program for the patients.
