This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing an internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy program — a proven type of talk therapy focused on stress and anxiety — for people who have experienced a heart attack but have normal or minimally blocked coronary arteries. Right now, there are no specific treatments designed for this group of patients, even though they often struggle with high levels of stress and anxiety after their event.
People with this type of heart attack have very few treatment options available, despite dealing with significant stress and anxiety. Previous research has shown that this kind of therapy can reduce health problems in patients with different types of heart attacks, so researchers want to see if it can help this group too.

If you are assigned to the treatment group, you will work through a nine-step online program focused on managing stress and anxiety at your own pace. If you are in the comparison group, you will receive the standard follow-up care: two appointments with a doctor and one with a nurse. All participants will be monitored to see how well the treatment works and how it affects your stress, anxiety, and overall recovery.
