Abstract
Following a myocardial infarction any residual symptoms are likely to remind the patient of a possible fatal outcome and be detrimental to successful rehabilitation. Negative psychological attitudes need to be identified early. Intervention to improve the mental state should be introduced to restore self-confidence.Keywords
