Abstract:
Objective Cardiovascular diseases comorbid with mental disturbances are described as psycho-cardiology diseases, which have been paid attention increasingly. The aim of this study is to summarize and analyze the findings about the study of psycho-cardiology over a year , and to obtain the baseline data of psycho-ca rdiology diseases in inpatients of cardiology department. Methods Subjects in this study were inpatients of cardiology department in the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University in the past 21 months. The demographic and clinical data of the inpatients were collected. Anxiety and depression were evaluated by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. The prevalence of anxiety and depression in patients with various cardiovascular diseases were calculated respectively. To detect the potential risk factors of anxiety or depression, two logistic regression models were established. Results The prevalence of anxiety, depression, anxiety and/or depression, and anxiety comorbid with depression was 38.6%, 12.4%, 51.0%, and 7.9%,respectively. The prevalence of depression in patients with chronic heart failure was 24.6%, which was higher than the general level and that of patients with other cardiovascular diseases. The prevalence of anxiety in patients with acute myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, and hypertension ranged from 39.6% to 41.7%. The long course of diseases, multiple diseases, and the history of cardiac interventional operation were the common risk factors for anxiety and depression. Conclusion Anxiety and depression are common in patients with cardiovascular diseases. Cardiologists should take mental disturbances seriously, and pay more attention to the patients with above risk factors.
