Key result
Shared psychosocial impacts of cardiac and stroke events support investigating integrated collaborative care models.
Why the study?
The psychosocial impact of acute cardiovascular disease events is gaining recognition, but the similarities and differences between heart disease and stroke regarding anxiety and depression have not been documented across their prevalence, predictors, consequences, and treatments.
There are sufficient similarities in the psychosocial impacts of cardiac and stroke events to warrant the development of integrated psychosocial services and collaborative care models for CVD patients.
Supports exploring integrated psychosocial services for cardiac and stroke patients; leaves open efficacy in prospective trials.
The psychosocial impact of acute cardiovascular disease (CVD) events, including cardiac and stroke events, is gaining increasing recognition, with recommendations regarding an integrated cardiovascular approach coming from organizations such as the European Society of Cardiology Council on Stroke. This study aims to document the similarities and differences between heart disease and stroke in the prevalence, predictors and consequences of, and treatments for, anxiety and depression. This scoping review provides an overview of the evidence of similarity and difference in the mental health impacts of cardiac events and strokes. It found that research into postevent anxiety and depression is generally more advanced in the cardiac area than in the stroke area, with research related to poststroke anxiety prevalence, predictors, and treatment being particularly sparse. Despite these limitations, the review reveals enough similarities in the psychosocial impacts of cardiac and stroke events to warrant investigation of the potential for integrated psychosocial services for CVD patients, paying particular attention to collaborative care models of intervention.

Jackson et al. (2023) conducted a review in Acute cardiovascular disease (CVD) events (cardiac and stroke). Acute cardiovascular disease (CVD) events was evaluated on Prevalence, predictors, consequences, and treatments for anxiety and depression. A scoping review found sufficient similarities in the psychosocial impacts of cardiac and stroke events to warrant investigating integrated psychosocial services and collaborative care models.
