Role of Heart Rate Variability in the Association between Myocardial Infarction Severity and Post-Myocardial Infarction Distress. Life (Basel) 2023; 13:2266. [PMID: 38137867 PMCID: PMC10744743 DOI: 10.3390/life13122266] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2023] [Revised: 11/14/2023] [Accepted: 11/22/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Myocardial infarction (MI) results in mental health consequences, including depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The risk and protective factors of such mental consequences are not fully understood. This study examined the relation between MI severity and future mental health consequences and the moderating role of vagal nerve activity. METHODS In a reanalysis of data from the Myocardial Infarction-Stress Prevention Intervention (MI-SPRINT) study, 154 post-MI patients participated. MI severity was measured by the Killip Scale and by troponin levels. Depression and PTSD symptoms were assessed with valid questionnaires, both at 3 and 12 months. Vagal nerve activity was indexed by the heart rate variability (HRV) parameter of the root-mean square of successive R-R differences (RMSSD). Following multivariate analyses, the association between MI severity and distress was examined in patients with low and high HRV (RMSSD = 30 ms). RESULTS In the full sample, the Killip index predicted post-MI distress only at 3 months, while troponin predicted distress at 3- and 12-months post-MI. However, HRV moderated the effects of the Killip classification; Killip significantly predicted symptoms of depression and PTSD at 3- and 12-months post-MI, but only in patients with low HRV. Such moderation was absent for troponin. CONCLUSION MI severity (Killip classification) predicted post-MI depression and PTSD symptoms, but only in patients with low HRV, suggesting that the vagal nerve is a partial protective (moderating) factor in the relation between Killip score and post-MI distress.

Effects of quercetin supplementation on endothelial dysfunction biomarkers and depression in post-myocardial infarction patients: A double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial. Clin Nutr ESPEN 2023; 56:73-80. [PMID: 37344086 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnesp.2023.04.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2022] [Revised: 03/22/2023] [Accepted: 04/21/2023] [Indexed: 06/23/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Endothelial dysfunction and depression are highly prevalent in patients who have experienced a myocardial infarction (MI). Epidemiological studies have pointed out that a diet rich in flavonoids, e.g., quercetin, can prevent the development of these biological phenomena. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the effects of quercetin supplementation on the levels of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) and on depression in post-MI subjects. METHODS Eighty-eight post-MI patients who had experienced their first MI (body mass index ≤35 kg/m2, age 30-65 years) were recruited from the Rasool-e-Akram and Afshar Hospitals, Iran, and included in this randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind parallel study. The participants were randomly assigned to receive a daily dose of 500 mg quercetin (n = 44) or placebo (n = 44) for 8 weeks. Serum concentrations of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 were quantified by ELISA and depression levels were assessed using the Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI-II) questionnaire at baseline and at 8-week follow-up. RESULTS Seventy-six participants completed the study, but the intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis was conducted for all 88 participants who were randomized into the intervention groups. No significant changes in serum concentrations of ICAM-1 or VCAM-1 (P = 0.21 and P = 0.80, respectively) were observed after 8 weeks of quercetin supplementation versus placebo. In addition, depression levels did not differ significantly between the quercetin and placebo groups. CONCLUSION Our findings demonstrated that in post-MI patients, daily supplementation with quercetin (500 mg/day) for 8 weeks did not affect endothelial dysfunction biomarkers and depression levels. This trial was registered at IRCT.ir as IRCT20190428043405N1.

Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells ameliorate depression by regulating Jmjd3 and microglia polarization in myocardial infarction mice. Psychopharmacology (Berl) 2021; 238:2973-2984. [PMID: 34374805 DOI: 10.1007/s00213-021-05912-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2021] [Accepted: 06/24/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
RATIONALE Microglia regulate the inflammation of the central nervous system and play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of depression. Moreover, Jmjd3 is involved in microglia polarization. Mounting studies reported the beneficial effects of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (HUC-MSCs) on myocardial infarction (MI), Unfortunately, its effects on MI-induced depression and its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. OBJECTIVES We aimed to investigate the antidepressant effects of HUC-MSCs and their impacts on microglia polarization. METHODS In the current study, the MI model was established by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery. Mice were injected with HUC-MSCs or PBS through the tail vein 1week after the surgery. The sucrose preference test (SPT), tail suspension test (TST), and forced swim test (FST) were performed to evaluate depression-like behavior. Cardiac function and myocardial fibrosis were evaluated at the end of the experiments. Immunofluorescence, Western blot, ELISA, and qRT-PCR were used to detect the levels of Jmjd3 and microglia-related markers and inflammatory factors. RESULTS HUC-MSC treatment significantly improved cardiac function, reduced the area of myocardial fibrosis, and alleviated depression-like behaviors induced by MI. HUC-MSCs inhibited the expression of Jmjd3 and promoted the switch of microglia in the prefrontal cortex, hypothalamus, and hippocampus from M1 to M2, thereby decreased the level of pro-inflammatory factors. CONCLUSION HUC-MSCs have cardioprotective and potential anti-depressive effects induced by MI related to the inflammation improved by regulating Jmjd3 and microglial polarization.

Abstract
Background
Globally, coronary artery disease (CAD) was the leading cause of health losses. The emergence of revascularization has brought a major change in the management of CAD. Depression and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the two highly prevalent noncommunicable diseases (NCD), which lead to poor quality of life and high socio-economic loss for the patient. The rate of depressive episodes was higher in CAD population in comparison to population with other heart problems.
Objectives
The primary objective of the current study is to determine the proportion of those with depressive symptoms through Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) among CAD patients in a tertiary care public hospital.
Methods
It was a cross-sectional analytical design, which assess the percentage of patients with depressive symptoms among CAD patients, using a pretested, semistructured questionnaire. The PHQ-9 and EuroQoL five-dimensional three-level (EQ-5D-3L) questionnaire, a quality-of-life instrument (five items), were used, which was validated in the Tamil version.
Statistical Analysis
Categorical variables was expressed as proportion. We used Chi-square as a statistical test to calculate the
p
value and risk estimation with 95% CI.
Results
Out of 541 patients, 159 (30%) patients had mild-to-moderate depressive symptoms, of which 144 (89%) participants were greater than 50 years. In EQ-5D-3L, around one-third of the participants reported pain or discomfort and anxiety or depression.
Conclusion
The study concludes that the assessment of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is becoming increasingly important in the management of CAD patients. Studies have shown that depression predicts subsequent quality of life, while others have shown that HRQoL is a risk factor for ongoing depression. Treatment of depression may improve subsequent physical HRQoL; hence, it is vital to address both during their follow-up to improve outcomes among patients with CAD.

Depression and myocardial injury in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: A cardiac magnetic resonance imaging study. World J Clin Cases 2020; 8:1232-1240. [PMID: 32337197 PMCID: PMC7176617 DOI: 10.12998/wjcc.v8.i7.1232] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2019] [Revised: 02/25/2020] [Accepted: 03/09/2020] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression is common in patients with myocardial infarction and has been independently associated with adverse outcomes. However, the association between depression and myocardial injury on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has still not been assessed.
AIM To assess the association between depression and myocardial injury on CMR in patients with STEMI.
METHODS A total of 107 STEMI patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (P-PCI) were analyzed in this prospectivecohort study. Each subject completed the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) to assess the presence and severity of depressive symptoms. CMR was performed at a median of 3 d after P-PCI for quantifying post-MI myocardial injury. Correlations between depression identified by the PHQ-9 and myocardial injury measured on CMR were assessed.
RESULTS In this study, 19 patients (17.8%) were diagnosed with major depression identified by the PHQ-9 ≥ 10. PHQ-9 was analyzed both as a continuous variable and dichotomous variable. After multivariable adjustment, the proportion of patients with large infarction size was significantly higher in the major depression group (PHQ-9 ≥ 10) (OR: 4.840, 95%CI: 1.122–20.868, P =0.034). When the PHQ-9 was evaluated as a continuous variable, after multivariable adjustment, an increased PHQ-9 score was associated with an increased risk of large infarction size (OR: 1.226, 95%CI: 1.073–1.401, P =0.003).
CONCLUSION In patients with STEMI undergoing PCI, depression was independently associated with a large infarction size.

Eur J Intern Med 2019; 61:75-80. [PMID: 30704672 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejim.2018.12.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2017] [Revised: 12/07/2018] [Accepted: 12/17/2018] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
AIMS To assess the impact of antidepressant (AD) prescription at discharge on 1-year outcome of patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in Switzerland. METHODS We used data from the AMIS Plus registry including patients admitted between March 2005 and August 2016 with AMI to a Swiss hospital who were followed up by telephone, 12 months after discharge. We compared patients who received AD medication at discharge with those who did not, with regard to baseline characteristics and outcomes in 1-year follow-ups using logistic regression. Outcome endpoints included mortality, re-hospitalisation, cerebrovascular events, re-infarction, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), coronary artery bypass graft as well as pacemaker and/or cardioverter-defibrillator implantations. Additionally, work and daily life conditions were compared between the groups. RESULTS Among 8911 AMI patients, 565 (6.3%) received AD at discharge. These patients were predominantly female, older, experienced more often non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, were in higher Killip classes, and had more frequently hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidaemia, obesity and comorbidities. They underwent less frequently PCI, and stayed in hospital longer. The AD-receiving group had higher crude all-cause mortality at 1-year follow-up than the non-receiving group (7.4% vs 3.4%; p < .001) and AD prescription was an independent predictor for mortality (OR 1.67; CI: 1.17 to 2.40). CONCLUSION AD medication at discharge was associated with poorer prognosis in AMI patients at 1-year follow-up. However, this study has limited data on depression diagnosis and drug classes. Further research is needed to pinpoint the causes and underlying pathomechanisms for the higher mortality observed in this patient group.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression is common in the aftermath of myocardial infarction (MI) and may not only lead to impaired long-term quality of life, but also cause increased mortality among patients with MI. The reported prevalence of depression among patients with MI varied considerably across studies, for which a pooled prevalence was obtained in the only 1 meta-analysis conducted in March 2004. Subsequently, numerous relevant studies have been published, indicating the need for an update on the pooled prevalence. Therefore, this study was aimed at updating the pooled prevalence of depression among patients with MI. METHODS A comprehensive literature search in 3 electronic databases, PubMed, Embase, and PsycINFO, was performed in April 2018. The heterogeneity across studies was examined by the Cochran's Q test and quantified by the I statistic. If significant heterogeneity was observed, meta-regression analyses and subgroup analyses were performed to identify the source of heterogeneity. Publication bias was assessed by a funnel plot and verified by the Egger's and Begg's tests. RESULTS Nineteen eligible studies conducted in 10 countries were included, which consisted of 12,315 patients with MI, among whom 3818 were identified with depression. High heterogeneity was observed across the eligible studies (I = 98.4%), with the reported prevalence of depression ranging from 9.17% to 65.88%. The pooled prevalence of depression among patients with MI was 28.70% (95% CI: 22.39-35.46%) by a random effects model. Subgroup analyses showed that the pooled prevalence differed significantly by region, tool used to identify depression, study quality, sex, race, anterior MI, and diabetes status (P < .05). Meta-regression analyses did not identify any moderators of heterogeneity, and the heterogeneity was high within most subgroups. Nonetheless, for unmarried subjects, the heterogeneity was low (I = 19.5). The Egger's test and the Begg's test indicated no evidence of publication bias (P > .05). CONCLUSIONS Given the high pooled prevalence of depression found in this study and the association between depression and adverse health outcomes among patients with MI, more psychological resources including early assessment and effective treatment of depression should be allocated to patients with MI.
