OBJECTIVE: Psychological factors are closely correlated with coronary heart disease, and gender discrepancies occurs in mental health after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute coronary syndrome patients (ACS) are worth studying. METHODS: This study collected data from patients aged ≥ 60 diagnosed with ACS who underwent PCI treatment within one week of admission to the Cardiovascular Department of Ji'an Central People's Hospital between June 2021 and December 2022. The study group consisted of 113 female patients, whereas the control group consisted of 121 male patients. Baseline patient data, demography, and laboratory test results were collected. Anxiety and depression were assessed using the Self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and Self-rating depression scale (SDS) before PCI and at 1, 4, and 12 weeks post-procedure. Descriptive data are presented as x̄±s. Group comparisons for continuous variables were conducted using t-tests, while categorical data were analyzed using chi-square tests. Multiple group comparisons were conducted using analysis of variance. RESULTS: There were no statistically significant disparities observed in baseline characteristics between these two groups. The assessment of SAS and SDS scores exhibited no statistically significant difference between the two groups before PCI; however, after the procedure, elderly female ACS patients demonstrated notably elevated SAS and SDS scores when contrasted with their elderly male ACS counterparts.
