In the acute phase, patients with heart diseases are treated in cardiac emergency units, which have a strong physical and emotional impact on those affected. This study aimed to characterize and compare indicators of affective experience and psychodynamic functioning between patients with heart disease treated in an emergency setting compared and individuals without heart disease, using the Pfister Colored Pyramids Test (CPT). A total of 80 participants were assessed and divided into two groups: the Clinical Group (G1, n =40) composed of patients with heart disease, and the Non-Clinical Group (G2, n =40), composed of individuals with no history of heart disease. Each group included 28 men (70%) and 12 women (30%), with a mean age of 62.7 (±5.5) years and 6.6 (±4.1) years of schooling. The CPT identified a reduced use of the color white in G1 and a reduced presence of the Colorless Syndrome, especially in men, while women with heart disease exhibited a high prevalence of the color violet. These findings indicate a tendency towards emotional dysregulation and anxiety in patients with heart disease.
