Evaluating anxiety in elective coronary angiography study: rationale, design, and study methodology

Conclusion Our study aims to provide evidence on which personality traits and coping strategies affect the levels of anxiety. We will also determine psychometric properties of the two questionnaires used in our study. The results will have implications for improvement of interventions designed to recognize anxiety and will offer future research of psychological and/or pharmacological interventions to reduce the burden of anxiety.
