Patients differ widely in terms of their psychological reactions to major illnesses such as coronary heart disease. Their appraisals of the prospects for recovery form one aspect of these reactions. Some prior work has examined the links between recovery expectations and rehabilitation outcomes, such as self-reported well-being, functional status, and return to work, in patients with a variety of conditions.1- 2 However, there has been little research to date documenting associations between patient recovery expectations and subsequent clinical events.
