Depression in Patients with Cardiovascular Disease

Abstract: It has been widely suggested that depression negatively affects patients with cardiovascular disease. There are several pathophysiological mechanisms as well as behavioral processes linking depression and cardiac events. Improvements in nursing and medical care have prolonged survival of this patient population; however, this beneficial outcome has led to increased prevalence of depression. Since mortality rates in chronic heart failure patients remain extremely high, it might be as equally important to screen… Show more

“…2, we used ECG to examine the electrical activity of the heart of aged adult mice. Student's t test comparisons in aged mice revealed no significant difference between genotypes with regard to HR [ t (21) = 0.737; P . 0.05] or in R–R intervals [ t (21) = 0.618; P .…”

“…In contrast, aged HCM mice exhibited significantly lower HRV [ t (21) = 5.984; P < 0.05], lower coefficient of variation (CV) [ t (21) = 5.555; P < 0.0001], and lower RMSSD [ t (21) = 4.483; P < 0.0005] vs. controls, which indicates compromised parasympathetic tone in the HCM females. Similarly, aged HCM mice exhibited lower levels of total power [ t (21) = 3.315; P < 0.005], reduced LF component of HRV [ t (21) = 3.103; P < 0.01], and reduced HF component of HRV [ t (21) = 2.751; P < 0.05] as compared to aged‐matched controls. Taken together, these results serve as evidence of SNS excitation and reduced efferent vagal activity in aged adult mice with HCM.…”

“…Premature cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of morbidity and mortality in people with diabetes [30] and co-morbid depression appears to increase the risk of developing vascular conditions in this group [11], [15], [17]. However, depression is also common in people with established cardiovascular disease [31]. Rather than being a (in)direct causal factor, depression in diabetes may be secondary to having cardiovascular complications.…”

“…Consultation should be provided by a multidisciplinary team, consisting of cardiologists, psychiatrists, and hospital or community nurses so as to carefully plan, execute, and evaluate medical intervention and implement lifestyle changes. D. Mastrogiannis et al [11] systematically review the existing knowledge regarding current definitions, prognostic implications, pathophysiological mechanisms, and current and future treatment options in patients with depression and HF. Evidence from the literature supports the possibility of a pathophysiological relationship between cognitive impairment, depression, and HF.…”
