Objective:

To analyze key fear symptoms in acute myocardial infarction patients post-PCI.

Approach:
    Key Findings:
    • The strongest connection was found between 'Anxiety causes physical symptoms such as rapid heart rate, stomach pain, and nervousness' and 'Relying on strangers for daily life makes me anxious.'
    • 'Exercise aggravates heart problems' had the highest expected influence (EI = 1.279) and was identified as the core fear symptom.
    Interpretation:

    Limitations:
    • Potential limitations include the use of a cross-sectional design and reliance on self-reported measures.
    Conclusion:

    The study identified the core symptom 'Exercise aggravates heart problems' within the post-PCI fear network of acute myocardial infarction patients.
