| Description: |
The prevalence of major depression among hospitalized patients with coronary artery disease has been reported to be between 17 and 27%. Now, in this new WPA publication, clinicians can find practical clinical guidance for treating these two important and common disorders when they co-present. |
| Synopsis: |
Recently, there has been a growing awareness of the multiple interrelationships between depression and various physical diseases. Patients with psychiatric problems, particularly depression, may be more susceptible to cardiovascular disorders. Depression and Heart Disease synthesizes current evidence, including some previously unpublished data, in a concise, easy-to-read format. The authors succinctly describe the epidemiology, pathogenesis (including cytokines and genetics), and risk factors of the comorbidity between depression and heart disease. The book also reviews the best pharmacological and psychotherapeutic approaches for people with this comorbidity. |
