Internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (I-CBT)
The intervention (I-CBT) will consist of 5 weeks of Internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy using three main parts. The first is psychoeducation that aims to educate the patients about chest pain and other causes than the cardiac ones. The other part concerns avoidance and exposure. This includes exposing the patients to physical activities that patients perceive as a threat to the heart. The third part contains awareness (mindfulness) training to teach the patients to have contact with the present moment despite chest pain and not trying to avoid it.
