Anxiety is the strongest predictor of disease. To reduce one's anxiety, it is necessary to have the ability to accept a process of change. A person in a conscious and not anxious state is able to make someone accept what is experienced. Acceptance will make a good psychological change, so good acceptance will make a positive change of mind. One that is very influential on the psychological state of patients with heart disorders so that they will be able to change the patient's coping patterns in dealing with illness and living their lives is the emergence of anxiety.
