P904Prognostic value of coronary computed tomographic angiography in symptomatic diabetic/non-diabetic patients without history of myocardial infarction

Abstract

of life scores appeared higher (47 vs 44, p=0.023). Levels of anxiety (6 vs 8, p=0.032) and depression (5 vs 8, p=0.048) were improved. No statistically significant change was noted in frequency of angina (4 vs 3, p=0.106) or usage of GTN spray (4 vs 3, p=0.078). Conclusions: Our initial study suggested that a short course of psychological intervention was effective in improving patients' quality of life and mood. Despite the relatively small sample size, current results indicate that benefits are maintained in the longer term. This is achieved independent of improvements in frequency of angina or usage of GTN spray. We propose larger, multi-centre trials to establish correlations further.
