Abstract
Evidence shows that depression after a myocardial infarction incurs a
substantially enhanced risk for recurrent coronary events. Similar con
clusions, although less well documented, are valid for milder depressi
on, vital exhaustion and hostility. These findings have been attribute
d to aberrations in brain serotonin systems, acid to changes in autono
mic reactivity and balance.
