Name Time Method <p>To assess the disease specific anxiety levels of the participants, the patients<br /><br>will fill out the Cardiac Anxiety Questionnaire (CAQ). The CAQ is a self-report<br /><br>questionnaire consisting of 18 items, divided in three subscales (fear: 8,<br /><br>avoidance: 5, and attention: 5) created to measure heart-focussed anxiety.<br /><br>Patients rate every item on a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from 0 (never) to 4<br /><br>(always). The score per subscale is calculated as the mean per subscale divided<br /><br>by the number of items per subscale. The total score is calculated as the mean<br /><br>of all items, where a higher score indicates greater heart-focussed anxiety.</p><br>
