Brief Summary: The study will determine whether a brief intervention program based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy can be effective for the reduction of modifiable risk factors and improvement of psychological well-being in patients referred to cardiac rehabilitation
Detailed Description: The Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is a mindfulness-based intervention which efficacy has been proven in the treatment of depression and anxiety, in stress reduction and in the modification of health- related behaviors in patients with several physical conditions. The application of an acceptance-based program in cardiac patients has revealed high treatment satisfaction and initial evidences of effectiveness in increasing heart-healthy behaviour.

The purpose of the trial is to evaluate the efficacy of a brief group-administered program based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in improving patients' ability to address modifiable multiple cardiovascular risk factors and overall psychological well-being, compared with the usual care.
