Left Ventricular Dysfunction and Depression in Hospitalized Patients with Heart Failure
OBJECTIVE: This study examined whether the severity of left ventricular systolic dysfunction is associated with depression in patients with heart failure (HF). Other factors were also studied to identify independent correlates of depression in HF. METHODS: The sample consisted of 400 hospitalized patients with HF. Left ventricular ejection fraction and other medical data were obtained from medical records. Depression and other psychosocial charac…
Moderators of Response to Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Major Depression in Patients With Heart Failure
OBJECTIVE: Although cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is efficacious for major depression in patients with heart failure (HF), approximately half of patients do not remit after CBT. To identify treatment moderators that may help guide treatment allocation strategies and serve as new treatment targets, we performed a secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial. Based on evidence of their prognostic relevance, we evaluated whether clinical and…
Residual Symptoms After Treatment for Depression in Patients With Coronary Heart Disease
OBJECTIVE: Depression is associated with an increased risk of mortality in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). The risk may be reduced in patients who remit with adequate treatment, but few patients achieve complete remission. The purpose of this study was to identify the symptoms that persist despite aggressive treatment for depression in patients with CHD. METHODS: One hundred twenty-five patients with stable CHD who met the DSM-IV crit…
Major Depression and Long-Term Survival of Patients With Heart Failure
OBJECTIVES: Previous studies have found that depression predicts all-cause mortality in heart failure (HF), but little is known about its effect on long-term survival. This study examined the effects of depression on long-term survival in patients with HF. METHODS: Patients hospitalized with HF (n = 662) at an urban academic medical center were enrolled in a prospective cohort study between January 1994 and July 1999. Depression was assessed on a…
Cardiac Risk Markers and Response to Depression Treatment in Patients With Coronary Heart Disease
BACKGROUND: Depression is associated with an increased risk of mortality in patients with coronary heart disease. There is evidence that this risk may be reduced in patients who respond to depression treatment. The purpose of this study was to determine whether cardiac risk markers predict poor response to depression treatment and, second, whether they improve with successful treatment. METHODS: One hundred fifty-seven patients with stable corona…
Effect of Omega-3 Fatty Acids on Heart Rate Variability in Depressed Patients With Coronary Heart Disease
Objective: To determine whether omega-3 fatty acid (FA) increases the natural log of very low frequency (lnVLF) power, an index of heart rate variability (HRV), and reduces 24-hour heart rate (HR) in depressed patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). Low intake of omega-3 FAs is associated with depression and with low HRV, and all three are associated with an increased risk of death in patients with CHD. Methods: Thirty-six depressed patients …
Depression and Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Patients With Coronary Heart Disease
Objective: Depression is a risk factor for cardiac events in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). Obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is frequently comorbid with depression and is also a risk factor for cardiac events. Undetected OSAHS could help explain the increased risk associated with depression. Methods: Medically stable patients with CHD and major (MD, n = 53), minor (md, n = 36), or no depression (ND, n = 43) were eval…
Prevalence of Depression in Hospitalized Patients With Congestive Heart Failure
OBJECTIVE: Prevalence estimates of depression in hospitalized patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) differ considerably across studies. This article reports the prevalence of depression in a larger sample of hospitalized patients with CHF and identifies demographic, medical, psychosocial, and methodological factors that may affect prevalence estimates. METHODS: A modified version of the Diagnostic Interview Schedule was administered to a s…

Adherence to a Prophylactic Medication Regimen in Patients With Symptomatic Versus Asymptomatic Ischemic Heart Disease
Although angina pectoris is the most common symptom of coronary artery disease, some patients do not experience angina during ischemic episodes. The effects of asymptomatic (silent) heart disease on patient self-management have rarely been studied. Studies of other patient populations with asymptomatic illnesses indicate that patients with silent myocardial ischemia might adhere less well to a prophylactic medication regimen than would those with…
Major depression in coronary artery disease patients with vs. without a prior history of depression
Major depression (MD) is common in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Some of these patients have a history of prior depressive episodes, whereas others experience their first episode around the same time that their CAD is diagnosed. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there are systematic differences between these two subgroups of depressed patients. Of 39 patients with recently diagnosed CAD who met DSM-III-R criteria f…
Psychological factors in silent myocardial ischemia
To determine whether psychological factors differentiate patients with silent versus symptomatic myocardial ischemia, a battery of psychometric tests was administered to 68 patients with positive thallium stress tests. Compared with patients who became symptomatic (n = 25), patients with silent ischemia on the treadmill (n = 24) were less often aware of cardiac and other bodily sensations (p less than 0.005) and were less avoidant of harm or pain…
Major depressive disorder predicts cardiac events in patients with coronary artery disease
Fifty-two patients undergoing cardiac catheterization and subsequently found to have significant coronary artery disease (CAD) were given structured psychiatric interviews before catheterization. Nine of these patients met criteria for major depressive disorder. All 52 patients were contacted 12 months after catheterization, and the occurrence of myocardial infarction, angioplasty, coronary bypass surgery and death was determined. Results of the …
Effect of DRGs on three-month readmission rate of geriatric patients with congestive heart failure
We reviewed the three-month hospital readmission rates of 410 patients ages 70 years or older discharged alive with a first time diagnosis of congestive heart failure during the period January 1983-June 1986. The mean age was 79.8 years, 59.5 per cent were women. Mean length of initial hospital stay decreased from 10.8 days in 1983 to 7.8 days in 1986. One hundred-nineteen patients (29 per cent) were rehospitalized at least once within three mont…
