Methods Totally 102 cases of coronary heart disease with depression and anxiety were randomly divided into two groups: the simple drug treatment group (the control group) and psychological intervention with drug treatment group (psychological intervention group). Both the two groups were scored by Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS), Self-Rating Depression Scale(SDS) and Seattle Angina Questionnaire(SAQ) before treatment and four weeks later.
