The most commonly quoted post-MI treatment goal was recurrent MI risk reduction. Additionally, 73% of the patients considered improving quality of life to be a key goal. Overall, the patients' emotional well-being, physical well-being, and personal life were particularly impacted by MI. \"Stress/anxiety/fear\" was the most frequently reported emotion immediately post-MI, and one-third conveyed MI's negative impact on their employment status.
