Depression and Cardiac Disease: Epidemiology, Mechanisms, and Diagnosis

Abstract: In patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD), depression is common, persistent, and associated with worse health-related quality of life, recurrent cardiac events, and mortality. Both physiological and behavioral factors—including endothelial dysfunction, platelet abnormalities, inflammation, autonomic nervous system dysfunction, and reduced engagement in health-promoting activities—may link depression with adverse cardiac outcomes. Because of the potential impact of depression on quality of life and cardiac … Show more

“…A barrier to maximizing benefit from cardiac rehabilitation is the frequent concurrent presentation of depressive symptoms. Despite these symptoms affecting up to 45% of CAD patients,4 79% of US cardiovascular physicians lack a standard method to screen for them 5. Depressive symptoms are associated with noncompletion of cardiac rehabilitation6 and a 2‐fold increased risk of mortality compared with nondepressed CAD patients 7.…”

“…17 Although depression and its impact have been well documented in post-MI patients, much less is known about its significance in patients with chronic stable angina. [18][19][20] Despite the fact that stable angina is the most common manifestation of coronary artery disease, 21,22 studies to date on the relationship between depression and chronic stable angina in the ambulatory setting have been small or restricted to a single center. 15,[23][24][25] Further insight into the prognostic importance of services.…”

“…The incidence and development of CVD can be brought about by direct physiological effects or indirectly via health behaviours. The psychobiological routes to cardiovascular endpoints can vary according to each PSRF, but collectively include changes in the autonomic nervous system, the endocrine and inflammatory systems, insulin resistance, central adiposity, endothelial and platelet dysfunction [171,172]. Behavioural pathways include unhealthy diet, lower levels of physical activity, excessive alcohol consumption [173,174]; reduced adherence to cardioprotective medications [84], and less engagement with secondary prevention programmes such as smoking cessation and cardiac rehabilitation 86,87].…”
