Objective To investigate the effects of a new anti-anxiety-depression drug tandospirone on heart rate variability (HRV) and QT-dispersion in patients with anxiety and depression after intracoronary stent implantation. Methods Eighty-six anxious and depressive patients after intracoronary stent implantation during May 2011 and May 2013 were treated by tandospirone for 6 weeks. We evaluated the changes of HRV and QT dispersion before and after anti-anxiety-depression treatment. Results After six weeks of treatment, the HRV was increased obviously (P<0.05) and the QT dispersion was decreased significantly (P<0.01). Conclusion The new anti-anxiety-depression drug tandospirone is effective on cardiac autonomic nervous system in patients with anxiety and depression after intracoronary stent implantation. And the drug is secure with a low rate of adverse reactions.
