Depression is an independent predictor of adverse cardiovascular events in women with suspected CAD, and this risk is not primarily mediated by the metabolic syndrome.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Depression may warrant evaluation in women with suspected CAD; leaves open metabolic mediation of associated CVD risk.
Vaccarino et al. (2007) studied this question.
