  • Title: [Pharmacotherapy for depression in patients with myocardial ischemia].
    Author: Dudek D, Dudek D, Zieba A.
    Journal: Psychiatr Pol; 2000; 34(6):983-92. PubMed ID: 11304889.
    Abstract:
    The comorbidity of depression and heart diseases is an important but still devaluated clinical problem. Mood disorders in those ill with cardiac ischaemic disease significantly worsen the predictive mortality and quality of life. It may be predicted that adequate therapy of depression could have a positive effect on the long term course of IHD. Careful analysis of indications and contradictions as well as the application of new generation drugs allows for safe therapy. Evident benefits of appropriate treatment of depression in this group of patients, deny the old thesis on the damage of antidepressive drugs on the cardio-vascular system.
