“…Researchers in Thailand, however, showed that men are more likely to develop psychological disorders after a stroke, but age was not a predisposing factor [13]. The experience of these symptoms, as well as the severity among women may be constant at all stages of life [14].…”

Depression is an important variable related to the worsening of quality of life in post-stroke patients. This study aimed to identify the prevalence of depression in patients after stroke. It is a cross-sectional study conducted between February and April 2013, 51 patients admitted to specialized stroke unit in a hospital in Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil. Hamilton Depression Rating Scale was applied to investigate depression. Regarding the modifiable risk factors, physical inactivity was the most significant factor for depression. As regards the neurological deficits, subjects with speech disorders had 2.2 times more likely to get depressive symptoms. The inability to walk did not affect the acquisition of these symptoms. On the comorbidities, non diabetics and heart disease ones had a 30% chance to further develop depression and hypertension does not influence in this. Thus, the study showed that among patients in the sample, younger women, unemployed, who had companion and had higher levels of education presented a greater chance of depression. We see, on this, the need to expand research in this context with longitudinal studies so these and other factors can be controlled through time.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is increasing in Middle Eastern countries. Depression is associated with increased morbidity and mortality rates among cardiovascular (CV) patients. Early detection of and intervention for depression among CV patients can reduce morbidity and mortality and save health care costs. Public information on mental health care needs of Arab CV patients living in Middle East regions is scattered and limited. This literature review surveyed and summarized research studies to learn what is known about the relationship between depression and CVD in Middle Eastern populations. The information will raise awareness among health care professionals and policy makers regarding the clinical significance of depression in Arab CV patients. It might contribute to development of culturally appropriate and effective mental health care services. Multiple databases were searched and 60 articles were assessed, including studies that investigated depression in Arab CV patient populations, physiological mechanisms of depression-CVD comorbidity, and intervention strategies that affect CV risk in depressed Arab patients. We discuss the extent to which this issue has been explored in Arab populations living in Middle East regions and Arab populations living abroad. We recommend that more comprehensive and in-depth research studies be conducted with Arab cardiac patients to enable implementation of culturally appropriate and effective mental health care interventions.

The concept of depression in women with coronary heart disease has been poorly defined for several reasons: numerous widely variable instruments that operationalize the concept, divergent proposed instrument cutoff scores, and continued lack of female participants and data analysis by gender in coronary heart disease research. In the forty articles from 1990 to 2018 evaluating depression in women with coronary heart disease, the concept is defined by specific somatic and cognitive symptoms, preceded by particular physiological and psychosocial vulnerabilities, and leads to poorer outcomes. Concept clarification is necessary for accurate diagnosis of depression, leading to more timely and appropriate interventions for women.
