The Influence of Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Anger Management on Endothelial Function in Patients With Recent Myocardial Infarction: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Conclusions Anger management by cognitive behavioral techniques may improve endothelial function in post-MI patients with low anger control, but it remains unclear via which mechanism these effects occurred. Further studies with larger numbers of patients, assessments of changes in anger, improved comparability of preintervention FMD, and longer follow-up are warranted. Trial Registration:ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02868216.
