TL;DR
Neither depression nor anxiety predicted mortality 4 months after MI, but both depression and anxiety predicted quality-of-life at 4 months among survivors.
Abstract
Neither depression nor anxiety predicted mortality 4 months after MI. Both depression and anxiety predicted quality-of-life at 4 months among survivors.

The difficulties inherent in obtaining consistent and adequate diagnoses for the purposes of research and therapy have been pointed out and a wide variety of psychiatric rating scales have been developed.

There was an inverse association between employment grade and prevalence of angina, electrocardiogram evidence of ischaemia, and symptoms of chronic bronchitis, and self-perceived health status and symptoms were worse in subjects in lower status jobs.

Major depression in patients hospitalized following an MI is an independent risk factor for mortality at 6 months and its impact is at least equivalent to that of left ventricular dysfunction (Killip class) and history of previous MI.

Depression while in the hospital after an MI is a significant predictor of 18-month post- MI cardiac mortality and significantly improves a risk-stratification model based on traditional post-MI risks, including previous MI, Killip class, and PVCs.

When emotional support was assessed before myocardial infarction, it was independently related to risk for death in the subsequent 6 months, and was significantly associated with 6-month mortality in multiple logistic regression analyses.

Variations in RP across methods and concepts were linked to differences in the coarseness of measurement scales, reliability, and content (including the effects of chart illustrations).

730 Citations1989Steven J. Schleifer
The large majority of patients who initially met criteria for major but not minor depression showed evidence of depression at 3 months and most patients with major depression had not returned to work by 3 months, suggesting treatment of major depressive syndromes after myocardial infarction may reduce chronicity and disability.

Major depression is common in the acute post-myocardial infarction period and confer significant psychiatric morbidity and, if sustained, require psychiatric intervention.

Examination of the interrelationships between baseline depression and social support in terms of cardiac prognosis and changes in depression symptoms over the first post-MI year revealed that among 1-year survivors who had been depressed at baseline, higher baseline social support was related to more improvement in depression Symptoms than expected.

Subjects who are distressed in the hospital are at high risk of adverse psychological and quality-of-life outcomes during the ensuing year, strengthening the argument for in-hospital identification and treatment of patients with depression and anxiety after myocardial infarction.

Post-MI depression is common and largely unrelated to medical and psychosocial factors, and patients who became depressed after discharge differed from those who remained depression-free in terms of age, history of depression, BDI scores, and the number of depression symptoms on the DIS in the hospital.

Results indicated that the type B behavior pattern, higher levels of depression and lower pulse rate reactivity to challenge were significant risk factors for death or cardiac arrest, after adjusting statistically for a set of known clinical predictors of disease severity.

Emotional distress in patients with myocardial infarction with a decreased left ventricular ejection fraction is unrelated to disease severity but reflects individual differences in personality; assessment of LVEF and personality may identify patients at risk.

Psychosomatic MedicineIs Anxiety Early after Myocardial Infarction Associated with Subsequent Ischemic and Arrhythmic Events?
305 Citations1996Debra K. Moser, Kathleen Dracup
It is found that anxiety early after myocardial infarction onset is associated with increased risk of ischemic and arrhythmic complications, and this finding suggests that anxiety should be considered among the conventional risk factors for in-hospital acuteMyocardial Infarction complications.

The findings indicate that affective disorders play an important role in the post-acute phase after AMI although the extent of myocardial infarction and behaviour responses are not significantly related to one another.

Psychosocial adjustment in patients with diagnosed myocardial infarctions substantiated previous findings in that 70% of those who were depressed postinfarct remained so throughout follow-up, and women seemed to have the most difficult time.

189 Citations1999Jane Irvine, Antoni Basinski +8 more
The trend for the cognitive-affective symptoms of depression to be associated with SCD risk, even after controlling for dyspnea/fatigue, suggests that the association between depression and mortality after AMI cannot be entirely explained as a confound of cardiac-related fatigue.

Major depression in patients hospitalized after myocardial infarction is a significant univariable predictor of death at 12 months, although it was not a statistically significant predictor after adjusting for other variables, and hostility is not a predictor ofdeath.

Symptoms of anxiety were prevalent among hospitalized patients who had an AMI, whereas depressive symptoms were rare, and there was no association between anxiety and depression and sex, infarct severity, history of previous AMi, or educational or occupational status.

S Socially isolated patients were 49% more likely to die after an infarction than patients classified as not being socially isolated, which does suggest that such patients are at an increased risk of death after AMI.
