Depression and cardiovascular disease: Shared molecular mechanisms and clinical implications

2018, American Journal of MedicineCitation Excerpt :Furthermore, when comparing the HADS-A and HADS-D with the SF-36, 1 study of patients with coronary heart disease found associations with all SF-36 subscales, most strongly with the mental health subscale, which indicates that the surveys measure similar aspects of mental health.19 Anxiety and depression are common and are associated with increased mortality in patients with coronary heart disease, even more strongly if the conditions coexist.20,21 A previous study of patients with myocardial infarction owing to coronary heart disease reported at least mild symptoms of anxiety (HADS-A >8) in 38% of the cases; 18% reported at least mild symptoms of depression (HADS-D >8) at admission.22
Depressive symptomatology in relation to 10-year (2004-2014) acute coronary syndrome incidence; the moderating role of diet and financial status
2016, Preventive MedicineCitation Excerpt :Additionally, various behavioral and biological mechanisms have been proposed to interpret the association between depressive symptoms and increased cardiac incidence including acute coronary syndrome (ACS) events (Druss et al., 2000). As far as secondary ACS prevention is concerned, even though the important role of depressive symptoms on disease prognosis has been identified for more than 40 years, only recently the focus has been oriented toward this relationship (Cay et al., 1972; Fan et al., 2014; van Melle et al., 2004). For instance, in a meta-analysis of studies with cardiac patients, it has been documented that, post-ACS depressive patients had almost 3-fold higher mortality risk and 2-fold higher risk of recurrent cardiac events (Meijer et al., 2011).
