Five-year prospective study of the effects of anxiety and depression in patients with coronary artery disease

Am J Cardiol. 2000 Nov 15;86(10):1135-8, A6, A9. doi: 10.1016/s0002-9149(00)01174-7.

Abstract

Anxiety and depression have significant and widespread effects on daily function and symptoms of patients with coronary artery disease over a 5-year period. This may partially explain why results of treadmill stress testing and angiography poorly predict the daily functioning of patients with coronary artery disease.
