Chronic mild stress (CMS) and myocardial infarction (MI) induce anhedonia, which is one of the symptoms of depression. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of the central V1 vasopressin receptors (V1R) in post-CMS and post-MI anhedonia. To this end, we investigated the effect of
We examined the prevalence of major depression, depressed mood/anhedonia, and subjective and neurovegetative symptoms of depression that were unaccompanied by depressed mood/anhedonia in patients with clinically-diagnosed Alzheimer's disease (AD) and multi-infarct dementia (MID). The specificity of
After myocardial infarction (MI), ovariectomized (OVX) female rats develop depression-like behaviors and an increase of pro-inflammatory cytokine (PIC) levels in the prefrontal cortex (PFC). We hypothesized that inhibition of neuroinflammation by the PIC synthesis inhibitor, pentoxifylline (PTX)
BACKGROUND
Depression after acute coronary syndromes (ACS) is an important risk factor for further coronary events; but the influence of anhedonia, the decreased capacity to experience pleasure, has received little attention. The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of anhedonia on
The utility of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) as a screening instrument for coronary care patients following acute myocardial infarction (MI) was investigated. A confirmatory factor analysis was conducted on the HADS to determine its psychometric properties in 335 MI patients over
Forty consecutive survivors after myocardial infarction (MI) were compared by means of a semistructured interview with a matched sample of 40 controls in respect of various psychosocial factors. The MI group reported a much higher prior occurrence of symptoms of anxiety and depression. The
Myocardial infarction (MI) and heart failure (HF) are risk factors for the development of depression, additionally worsening the quality of life and patient outcome. How HF causes depression and how depression promotes HF remain mechanistically unclear, which is at least partly caused A bidirectional relationship exists between depression and cardiovascular disease. Patients with major depression are more likely to develop cardiac events, and patients with myocardial infarction and heart failure are more likely to develop depression. A feature common to both clinical syndromes is
BACKGROUND
Depression consistently predicts recurrent events and mortality in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), but it has 2 core diagnostic criteria with distinct biological correlates-depressed mood and anhedonia (loss of pleasure or interest).
OBJECTIVE
To determine if depressed mood
Myocardial infarction (MI) in rats is followed by a behavioral syndrome similar to human post-MI depression. We tested the effects of escitalopram, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, on this syndrome. MI was induced in 19 Sprague-Dawley rats by occluding the left anterior descending coronary
Recent case studies have suggested that emotion perception and emotional experience of music have independent cognitive processing. We report a patient who showed selective impairment of emotional experience only in listening to music, that is musical anhednia. A 71-year-old right-handed man
OBJECTIVE
Emotional distress has been related to clinical events in patients with coronary artery disease, but the influence of positive affect (i.e. mood states such as activity, joy and cheerfulness) has received little attention. Therefore, we wanted to investigate the role of positive affect on
BACKGROUND
Vascular depression is regarded as a subtype of depression, especially in, but not entirely restricted to, the elderly, characterized by a specific clinical presentation and an association with (cerebro)vascular risk and disease. It could have major implications for treatment if subjects
OBJECTIVE
Vascular depression is regarded as a subtype of depression, especially in--but not limited strictly to--older persons, and characterized by a specific clinical presentation and an association with (cerebro)vascular risk and disease. It is also known that depression is a risk factor in the
Depression is an important public health problem and is considered to be an independent risk factor for coronary artery disease. The pathophysiological mechanisms that link depression with adverse cardiovascular events (e.g., myocardial ischemia, myocardial infarction, and sudden death) are not well
