Abstract

Depression is common in those with cardiovascular disease and is independently associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

In this chapter we consider tools to screen for depression in cardiac patients and review the evidence of the effectiveness of psychological interventions for depression in those with cardiovascular disease, including stroke.
