Abstract
PATIENTS WITH cardiovascular diseases, such as ischemic heart disease, acute myocardial infarction, and stroke, have a high prevalence of depressive disorder1-4 and greater morbidity compared with such patients without depression.5-8 Patients with depression after acute myocardial infarction, for example, have much greater mortality than such patients without depression.6,7 Although many studies have examined the relationship between depression and cardiovascular disease, few have focused on patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) and the relationship of depression to prognosis.9-11Keywords
