Psychological well-being and the effects of supportive coaching during SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging in patients with suspected ischemic heart disease

Negative affect during MPI-SPECT is associated with cardiac symptoms during CST. No benefits were found of the short-term supportive coaching intervention during the MPI-SPECT procedure. Patient well-being might be improved by providing support during the entire diagnostic phase for ischemic heart disease rather than just during the MPI-SPECT procedure.
