To evaluate the effectiveness of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) combined with aerobic training on treatment adherence, kinesiophobia, heart rate variability (HRV), exercise tolerance, and psychological stress response in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Post-PCI patients (n = 150) were randomly assigned to an observation group (receiving combined MBSR and aerobic training) and a control group (receiving aerobic training only). Treatment adherence, the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia-Heart (TSK-SV Heart), HRV parameters, exercise tolerance, and psychological stress responses were assessed before and after the intervention. Psychological assessments included the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and the Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS).
