Although these are minimally invasive andhave relatively low risk, most patients showed pre-procedural anxiety. The present study assessedthe anxiety level and factors associated with it among older Adults undergoing coronaryangiography and percutaneous coronary intervention. A total of 155 older patients undergoingCoronary Angiography and PCI at Cardiac Catheterization Units, Zagazig University Hospitalswere selected.The results showed that 58.1% of the studied older adults patients had moderate anxiety,while, 25.8% of them had severe anxiety and only 16.1% of them had mild anxiety level. Thehighest rates of anxiety were found in in female patients with age greater than or equivalent to70 years compared with other age groups, with low educational level, had chest pain attack andthose without previously cardiac intervention.
