Abstract in brief

  • Depression is identified as an independent risk factor that significantly increases the likelihood of developing coronary heart disease (CHD).
  • A comprehensive meta-analysis of 26 prospective cohort studies found that individuals with depression have about a 21% higher risk of CHD compared to those without depression, although there might be some publication bias in the results.
  • The study emphasizes that, despite some variability, overall evidence suggests a strong link between depression and increased risk of CHD, highlighting the importance of mental health in cardiovascular disease prevention.]
