Depression and Whole Blood Serotonin in Patients With Coronary Heart Disease From the Heart and Soul Study
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether depression is associated with whole blood serotonin in outpatients with stable coronary heart disease (CHD). Depression is associated with incident CHD and with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Dysregulation of peripheral serotonin, common to both depression and CHD, may contribute to this association. METHODS: We performed a cross-sectional study of 791 participants with stable CHD enrolled in the Heart and Soul St…
Platelet Thromboxane A2 Secretion in Patients With Major Depression Responsive to Electroconvulsive Therapy
Objective: To determine a) whether clinical response to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is associated with decreased platelet activation in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) and b) if any medical/demographic characteristics predict response to ECT or changes in platelet activation. Increased platelet activation may underlie the increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with MDD. Methods: Before their first and sixth …
Depression, Alterations in Platelet Function, and Ischemic Heart Disease
Platelets, the smallest corpuscular component of human blood, are central to various crucial biologic pathways in the human body. Diminished platelet function is thought to contribute to the increased risk of ischemic heart disease in patients with major depressive disorder, and to the increased morbidity and diminished survival of depressed patients after an index myocardial infarction. We reviewed both recent studies that evaluated platelet fun…
