TI  - Depression after coronary heart disease events.
PG  - 580-3
AB  - OBJECTIVE: To study the prevalence of depression at least 6 months after various 
      coronary heart disease (CHD) events (bypass grafting, coronary angioplasty, 
      myocardial infarction, myocardial ischaemia without infarction) and the 
      associations between depression and clinical variables. DESIGN: In the course of 
      the study 414 (284 males, 130 females) patients younger than 71 years (mean age 
      for men 60.9 years and for women 63.6 years) were interviewed and examined. 
      Smoking habits, body mass index, lipid levels and diabetic status were recorded. 
      The New York Heart Association (NYHA) class was assessed. Depression was screened 
      using a self-rated depression scale. RESULTS: In the four diagnostic categories, 
      one-sixth of the patients (14-19%) suffered from depression. Depression was 
      associated with smoking (OR 1.7, 95% CI 1.2; 2.4) and poor NYHA class (OR 1.9, 
      95% CI 1.4; 2.6). CONCLUSION: Depression is common after CHD events, and is 
      associated with smoking and poor NYHA class. The identification and treatment of 
      depression should be one of the elements in the rehabilitation of cardiac 
      patients.
