This review found that psychological interventions improved depression, anxiety and mental HRQoL, with those targeting anxiety to show most benefit. Given the statistical heterogeneity, the precise magnitude of effects remains uncertain. Increasing use of multifactorial psychological interventions shows promise for incorporating patient needs and preferences. Investigation of those at high risk of poor outcomes, comparison of intervention components and those with AF is warranted.
