Abstract

Psychiatric symptoms are common after cardiac surgery, particularly adjustment disorders, major depressive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, delirium, and cognitive disorders. Depression has been reported in up to 37 % of patients after coronary artery bypass graft surgery and up to 63 % of patients after cardiac transplantation. PTSD has a prevalence of 15–25 % in postoperative cardiac patients and 10–17 % among posttransplant patients. The reported incidence of delirium among postoperative cardiac patients ranges from 10 % to 50 %. Postsurgical psychopathology confers significant morbidity and mortality. This chapter will review the prevalence, clinical features, and treatment of the most common psychiatric disorders after open-heart surgery (including coronary artery bypass graft and valve repair procedures) and orthotopic heart transplant.
