Abstract		Background Depressive symptoms are common in coronary heart disease patients, and are associated with increased cardiac risk. Although an important relation exists between depression and coronary heart disease prognosis, the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms are poorly understood. Recent evidences suggest that selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors may improve survival after myocardial infarction in patients with depression. Conclusions Recognition, early diagnosis and treatment of this comorbidity may be one of essential factors for the clinical management of coronary artery disease.
Summary		Izhodišča Depresivni simptomi so pogosti pri bolnikih s koronarno boleznijo srca ter so povezani s povečanim srčnim tveganjem. Čeprav med depresijo in koronarno srčno boleznijo obstaja pomembna povezava, je patofiziološki mehanizem te povezave še vedno slabo poznan. Novejši dokazi kažejo, da selektivni inhibitorji ponovnega privzema serotonina lahko izboljšajo preživetje bolnikov z depresijo po miokardnem infarktu. Zaključki Prepoznava, zgodnja diagnoza in zdravljenje te zbolevnosti so morda med najpomembnejšimi dejavniki v klinični obravnavi koronarne bolezni srca.
