Gender differences in mood have been interesting in research for many years. There are many mood states which are said to be associated with cardiac disease. Aim: the present study aimed at assessing gender difference in cardiac patients. Methodology: 8SQ questionnaires were administered on 30 males and 30 females from different professions having cardiac illness. Results: there was significant difference between male and female patients in mood states, guilt and extraversion. Conclusion: male and female patients of cardiac illness exhibit similar levels of anxiety, stress, depression, regression, fatigue and arousal. Female patients are more guilt prone than male patients and male patients show greater extraverted mood states than female patients.
