Depression and sleep disorders in patient’s with cardiovascular diseases

Abstract

Patients with primary Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) were suffering mainly of anxiety disorders versus patients with recurrent AMI which suffered mainly from depression and sleep disorders. The increase of depression severity was associated with the presence of LV systolic dysfunction, reduced exercise tolerance, with elderly age and a rising up of the percentage of complicated AMI. Among men, affective disorders were more significant in men of asthenic body type. Anxious and depressive disorders are more substantial in women vs men regardless of their somatotype. Sleep disorders are found to be a significant risk factor for cardiovascular issues and should be prevented and therapeutically corrected. The study of these aspects is important to optimize the treatment and rehabilitation of patients with AMI and improve their prognosis
