Detecting and Managing Depression in Patients with Cardiac Disease

Detecting and Managing Depression in Patients with Cardiac Disease – MM1503

Depression is common in patients with cardiac disease, is associated with increased risk of mortality and morbidity and is the major driver of quality of life. Depression is also a major determinant of adherence to treatment strategies. It is therefore important that depressive symptoms are recognised and treated early in patients with cardiac disease.
