We aimed at assessing its effects on post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) patients.</p> <p><strong>Methods:</strong>&nbsp;We recruited 357 patients arranged with PCI and randomized them in a ratio of 1:1 (<em>n</em>&nbsp;= 178 versus&nbsp;<em>n</em>&nbsp;= 179) into a 3-month mindfulness training class in addition to usual care. The primary outcomes were the physiological and health-related quality of life outcomes of patients post-PCI. The secondary outcomes were the psychological outcomes of the patients.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong>&nbsp;Compared to the control group, the 3-month mindfulness training improved the physiological outcomes including systolic blood pressure, body mass index, total cholesterol level, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, and triglyceride levels of patients post-PCI. The psychological outcomes including depression, anxiety, self-efficacy, and stress of these patients were also improved statistically.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong>&nbsp;Mindfulness training exhibited benefits on both physiological and psychological outcomes of patients post-PCI.</p&gt;}, number={4}, journal={STEMedicine}, author={LiuNaizhen and Xie, Wenji}, year={2022}, month={Oct.}, pages={e143} }
