Patients with coronary artery disease have multiple co-morbids that include dyslipidemia, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, smoking and physical inactivity. It has been seen that depression is another issue in these patients that need close attention. Studies have shown that it affects between 20% and 40% in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and have a higher prevalence than in general population.1 One of the study done by SS Bokhari et al.2 has shown a point prevalence of depression in CAD as 37% (31.3% males and 53.8% females). Numerous studies have shown that patients with CAD and depression have poor health outcomes.3 Depression in different aspects in Pakistani population after myocardial infarction,4 after PCI5 and in in-hospital patients with CAD6 were evaluated and found to have significant mental illness which co-relates with the results of other international studies. Keeping all the research studies American Heart Association wrote a scientific statement and endorsed depression as a risk factor for cardiac morbidity and mortality.7 Importance of depression screening as a part of myocardial infarction protocol for caring patients with Ischemic Heart Disease was seen in TRIUMPH trial (Translational Research Investigating Underlying Disparities in Acute Myocordial Infarction Patients Health Status)8 ENRICHD Trial (Enhancing Recovery in Coronary Heart Disease)9 use of citalopram or serlatine plus as clinical management was used for depressive symptoms with CAD in CREATE Trial (Canadian Cardiac Randomized Evaluation of Antidepressant and Psychotherapy Efficacy).10 In Pakistan where prevalent of CAD is high i.e. one in 4 middle age adults,11 managing such patients are numerous that includes revascularization (Surgical and Interventional), drugs and treatment of modifiable and nonmodifiable risk factors. Despite all these efforts it’s a need of time to focus on diagnosing depression in CAD to improve outcomes. Depression screening should be conducted to identify these important risk factors and treated with drugs in reducing morbidity and mortality.

Background: The epidemic of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) poses a great challenge to depression. However, the prevalence of depression among ACS patients has not been fully determined. This meta-analysis aimed to provide an estimation of the global prevalence of depression among ACS patients (ACS depression). Methods: Online databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Scopus were searched for all relevant studies that reported the prevalence of ACS depression through March 2023. Pooled prevalence of ACS depression with 95% confidence interval (CI) was estimated by the random-effect model. All statistical analyses were performed using comprehensive meta-analysis software. This review was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) (identifier CRD42023409338). Results: A total of 28 studies (17 cohort studies, 9 cross-sectional studies, and 2 case–control studies) were included. The overall pooled prevalence of depression in ACS, derived from 28 studies, was 28.5% (95% CI: 0.28–0.29, P = .000, I 2 = 99%). 21 included studies showed a prevalence of 20.3% (95% CI: 0.20–0.21, P = .000, I 2 = 96%) in men, and the prevalence in women was 13.6% (95% CI: 0.13–0.14, P = .000, I 2 = 95%). Subgroup analysis showed the lowest prevalence in Europe (20.7%, 95% CI: 0.20–0.22, P = .000, I 2 = 98%); On different diagnostic criteria, the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (DSM-IV) (36.8%, 95% CI: 0.35–0.38, P = .000, I 2 = 96%) has the highest prevalence. In terms of end year of data collection, the prevalence of ACS depression was lower for studies that ended data collection after 2012 (25.7%, 95% CI: 0.25–0.27, P = .000, I 2 = 99%) than in studies before 2012 (30%, 95% CI: 0.29–0.31, P = .000, I 2 = 98%). Conclusion subsections: This systematic review and meta-analysis suggest high global prevalence of depression among ACS patients, underlining the necessity of more preventive interventions among ACS patients especially in Asian and North American regions.
