In recent decades, there has been an increasing interest in the relationship between cardiovascular disease (CVD) and depression. Not only has depression emerged as a robust risk factor for CVD onset [1], but depression is common in patients who have experienced a heart event. Evidence suggests that approximately 15% of Myocardial Infarction (MI) patients experience major depression, with another 1520% reporting mild to moderate depressive symptoms [2]. Indeed, MI patients with depression are at increased risk of mortality [3], morbidity and suicide [4]. These patients have also been shown to experience impaired health related quality of life (HRQOL) [5] and poorer CVD risk factor profiles, medication adherence [6], health service utilisation [7] and work outcomes [8]. In fact, depression has also been shown to predict negative return to work outcomes [9], productivity and absenteeism in cardiac populations.
