Future or Investigational Therapies

Recent research

On September 29, 2008, the American Heart Association Prevention Committee of the Council on Cardiovascular Nursing, Council on Clinical Cardiology, Council on Epidemiology and Prevention, and Interdisciplinary Council on Quality of Care and Outcomes Research released a science advisory outlining their recommendations for screening, referral and treatment of depression in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). Their recommendations include: 1. CHD patients should be routinely screened for depression; 2. CHD patients with positive screens should be evaluated by professionals skilled in dealing with depression; 3. CHD patients with depression should be monitored for both cardiovascular and mental health issues; 4. Care for CHD patients with depression should be coordinated between cardiovascular and mental health professionals.
