Abstract
Comorbidity of psychiatric disorders and heart disease is extremely common. The psychopharmacological treatment for psychiatric disorders in patients with cardiovascular disease has been an important topic of active investigation. In the last 20 years, psychiatric disorders – especially depression – have been found to be associated with an increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with existing heart disease, spurring even greater interest in the effects of psychopharmacological treatment in cardiac patients. Evidence suggests that the recognition and the treatment of depression increase the prognosis of cardiovascular disease. In the case of clinically significant symptoms of depression or other psychosocial factors, the European guidelines recommend the consideration of interventions such as psychotherapy, medication or collaborative care.
