TL;DR
It is likely that the Inpatient cardiac counseling and rehabilitation program resulted in significant and enduring benefits of clinical value and would be acceptable to most post-MI patients, many of whom are not offered or are unable to accept outpatient cardiac rehabilitation.
Abstract
This Inpatient cardiac counseling and rehabilitation program resulted in significant and enduring benefits of clinical value. It is likely that it would be acceptable to most post-MI patients, many of whom are not offered or are unable to accept outpatient cardiac rehabilitation.

It is suggested that the introduction of the scales into general hospital practice would facilitate the large task of detection and management of emotional disorder in patients under investigation and treatment in medical and surgical departments.
The LancetRandomised trial of home-based psychosocial nursing intervention for patients recovering from myocardial infarction
468 Citations1997Nancy Frasure‐Smith, François Lespérance +6 more
The results do not warrant the routine implementation of programmes that involve psychological-distress screening and home nursing intervention for patients recovering from MI, and the poorer overall outcome for women, underline the need for further research and the inclusion of adequate numbers of women in future post-MI trials.
Psychosomatic MedicineMajor Depression Before and After Myocardial Infarction
462 Citations1996François Lespérance, Nancy Frasure‐Smith +1 more
Post-MI depression is common and largely unrelated to medical and psychosocial factors, and patients who became depressed after discharge differed from those who remained depression-free in terms of age, history of depression, BDI scores, and the number of depression symptoms on the DIS in the hospital.

Psychosomatic MedicineIs Anxiety Early after Myocardial Infarction Associated with Subsequent Ischemic and Arrhythmic Events?
305 Citations1996Debra K. Moser, Kathleen Dracup
It is found that anxiety early after myocardial infarction onset is associated with increased risk of ischemic and arrhythmic complications, and this finding suggests that anxiety should be considered among the conventional risk factors for in-hospital acuteMyocardial Infarction complications.

A three-year follow-up of 530 patients who had left hospital after an acute myocardial infarction found only four factors—age, heart size, degree of pulmonary congestion, and previous ischaemia—were relevant to three- year survival.

The findings of this study indicate that it might be worth offering a comprehensive home-based programme based on a heart manual or a placebo package of information and informal counselling to all patients with acute myocardial infarction.

Rehabilitation programmes based on psychological therapy, counselling, relaxation training, and stress management seem to offer little objective benefit to patients who have experienced myocardial infarction compared with previous reports of smaller trials.

Among patients post-MI without complications, psychological distress decreases significantly during the 12 months after MI, and the treatment and control groups showed equal levels of improvement.

54 Citations1994Paul Bennett, Douglas Carroll
The available data suggest programmes targeted at reducing Type A behaviours, smoking cessation, increasing exercise, or which teach stress management techniques, may be effective in reducing psychological distress and increasing effective coping, although frequently only in the short-term; it is more difficult to point to long-lasting advantage in this context.

If the NICE target that every suitable myocardial infarction patient receives rehabilitation is to be met, then primary care needs to be in the driving seat.
