CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE
The purpose of our randomized controlled trial is to test the effects of a cognitive-behavioral rehabilitation program for individuals with cardiovascular disease and mild or moderate mental illness or stress or exhaustion, in comparison with standard cardiac rehabilitation. Our study will provide high-quality evidence to inform pension insurance providers if cognitive-behavioral rehabilitation is likely to improve outcomes in similar patients and could be recommended for implementation across Germany. All results of our study will be published as articles in peer-reviewed journals and at conferences, regardless of the magnitude or direction of the effects. The authors of this protocol will write the final trial publications. We do not intend to use professional writers. We will provide updated information on the trial on our website
