introduction: the relationship between depression and coronary artery disease is well established; however assessment of this relationship using functional and semi-quantitative imaging (myocardial perfusion scintigraphy) was lacking. the aim of this study was to assess the relationship between the severity of depression and the severity of myocardial perfusion abnormality. methods: patients we...

Aims: Depression is a common psychiatric disorder after myocardial infarction. So it is necessary to find the appropriate intervention to reduce depression. This study aimed at comparing the effect of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) on depression in patients with myocardial infarction. Materials & Methods: In this clinical trial, 90 e...

neonatal respiratory distress is a very common problem in our practice. the causes may be respiratory, cardiovascular, central, metabolic, haematological and surgical. the cause of distress due to transient myocardial depression is not very common in mild asphyxia. we present a case having transient myocardial depression with severe respiratory distress and features of shock in a mild asphyxiat...

objectives: the present research was carried out to investigate the role of psychological structures particularly dysfunctional attitudes with its consequence depression in incidence and severity of coronary heart disease. method: in this research 30 patients (28 males and 2 females) suffering from myocardial infarction and 30 nonpatient individuals (28 males and 2 females) after matching were ...

Depression and hopelessness predict myocardial infarction, but it is unclear whether depression and hopelessness are independent predictors of myocardial infarction incidents. Hopelessness, depression, and myocardial infarction incidence rate 18 years later were measured in 2005 men. Cox regressions were conducted with hopelessness and depression serving as individual predictors of myocardial i...

Introduction: Myocardial infarction (MI) is the damage to the heart muscle,or myocardium, resulting from the lack of blood flow to the heart. MI patients experience mental and emotional problems such as depression and anxiety. These complications could cause delay in resuming work, decreased quality of life and increased risk of death. The role of education in facilitating adaptation is very im...

Exogenous tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) induces delayed myocardial depression in vivo but promotes rapid myocardial depression in vitro. The temporal relationship between endogenous TNF-α and endotoxemic myocardial depression is unclear, and the role of TNF-α in this myocardial disorder remains controversial. Using a rat model of endotoxemia not complicated by shock, we sought to determine 1)...
