Insights
This study protocol investigates music's impact on anxiety and stress for patients undergoing coronary angioplasty. The research aims to reduce patient stress and stabilize vital signs through this cardiac intervention.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Psychology
- Health Sciences
Background:
- Rising prevalence of chronic non-communicable cardiovascular diseases globally and in Brazil.
- Coronary angioplasty patients experience significant anxiety and stress.
- Need for effective, non-pharmacological interventions to manage patient distress.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present a study protocol evaluating music's effect on anxiety and stress in coronary angioplasty patients.
- To assess music as an intervention to improve patient well-being during cardiac procedures.
- To establish a framework for future clinical trials on music therapy in cardiovascular care.
Main Methods:
- Randomized, controlled, double-blind clinical trial design.
- Inclusion of 52 patients undergoing coronary angioplasty, assigned to experimental (music) or control groups.
- Data collection includes pre- and post-intervention anxiety/stress assessments and vital sign monitoring.
Main Results:
- Primary outcome: reduction in patient anxiety and stress levels.
- Secondary outcome: stability of vital signs (e.g., heart rate, blood pressure).
- Anticipated positive impact of music intervention on psychological and physiological markers.
Conclusions:
- Music may serve as a valuable complementary therapy for managing anxiety and stress in patients undergoing coronary angioplasty.
- The study protocol provides a robust methodology for investigating music's therapeutic potential in cardiovascular care.
- Findings could inform clinical practice, leading to improved patient outcomes and experiences.
Abstract:
In the current health context, there is a widespread increase in chronic non-communicable diseases that predominantly affect the cardiovascular system. Recent epidemiological data in Brazil indicate a rise in these diseases, which can result in severe harm to patients, including death. This study aims to present a study protocol to evaluate the effect of music in reducing anxiety and stress in patients undergoing coronary angioplasty. A randomized, controlled, double-blind clinical trial will be conducted with 52 patients undergoing coronary angioplasty. The patients will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: a Control Group or an Experimental Group, to assess the effect of music on anxiety and stress. Two key points will be considered to evaluate the intervention's impact: data on patients' anxiety and stress, collected through structured forms, will be gathered both before and after the intervention, along with an assessment of vital signs. The primary expected outcome is a reduction in anxiety and stress, while the secondary expected outcome is stability in vital signs.

01:26Exercise Stress Test
Exercise stress testing, commonly known as a treadmill test, is a noninvasive procedure used to evaluate cardiovascular function and diagnose heart conditions.
Definition
An exercise stress test measures the heart's response to exertion using a treadmill or stationary bicycle. Chest electrodes record the heart's electrical activity through an ECG, and blood pressure is monitored regularly.
Purposes
01:25Stress Prevention and Stress Management Techniques III
The Role of Exercise in Stress Management
Regular physical activity is essential for reducing stress and promoting cardiovascular health. Exercise strengthens the heart, enhances blood flow, keeps blood vessels flexible, and helps lower blood pressure, all of which reduce the body's stress response. Research shows that adults who exercise regularly have nearly half the...
01:16Antianginal Drugs: Nitrates and β-Blockers
Organic nitrates, such as nitroglycerin, play a pivotal role. Once metabolized, they liberate nitric oxide, a molecular marvel. Nitric oxide triggers guanylyl cyclase and augments cGMP production. This biochemical cascade orchestrates the relaxation of vascular smooth muscles, ushering in vasodilation and enhancing coronary blood flow....
