Other variables to be measured will include anxiety and depression (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale), health beliefs (Illness Perception Questionnaire), this questionnaire has been shown to predict a number of aspects of recovery in post-MI patients, medical co-morbidity, the number of acute events (including hospital admissions), the number of consultations for cardiac reasons, risk factor profile, a cumulative secondary prevention score (using the method of the ASPIRE group), systolic and diastolic blood pressure at rest and following exercise and the EuroQU0L, a measure of health-related quality of life. All of these measures have been validated for use in this patient group and will be piloted during Phase 1 for suitability when other measures may be added.
