Establishing the Minimal Clinically Important Difference for the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale in Patients With Cardiovascular Disease

Conclusions: Our work provides the first estimates of an MCID by triangulating multiple methodologies for the HADS in patients with cardiovascular disease. This MCID may serve as an indicator of treatment success for clinicians and researchers and guide future interventions to improve the mental health of patients with cardiovascular disease.
