“…Thirty-three percent of the participants in our study presented them during their first hospitalization. This is consistent with previous data reporting depression in 20%-40% of MI patients [3]. CI is among the main symptoms of depression, and its presence is a predictor of dementia development [4].…”

“…28,29 During this time, it is less likely for patients affected by anxiety and depression to make the necessary changes to their lifestyle, and adhere to their medications. 30 In addition to these potential influences, it is also thought that certain cardiac medications may impact on CI symptoms. Medications such as anticoagulants can improve CI by reducing the risk of cerebral infarction.…”

Background Minimising risk factors through secondary prevention behaviour is challenging for patients following an acute coronary syndrome. Cognitive impairment can potentially make these changes more difficult. However, cognitive impairment prevalence in acute coronary syndrome patients is poorly understood. Design This study was based on a systematic review. Methods A systematic review was conducted of PubMed, Medline, PsycINFO and Cochrane databases up to March 2019, to identify studies reporting the prevalence of cognitive impairment in acute coronary syndrome patients. Predefined inclusion criteria were specified, including use of a validated cognitive impairment screening tool. Studies were excluded if patients had diagnosed dementia or coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Strengthening The Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology and Cochrane Risk of Bias tools were used to assess quality. Results From 747 potential studies, nine were included. The total sample size was 6457 (range 53–2174), mean age range was 51.3–77.4 years, and range of proportions of males was 57–100%. Reported cognitive impairment prevalence rates varied substantially (9–85%) with no clear pattern over time. From the two studies which examined domains, verbal fluency, memory and language were affected the most. Meta-analysis could not be undertaken due to diverse screening tools ( n = 9), cut-off scores and screening timepoints. Conclusions Cognitive impairment in acute coronary syndrome patients is currently poorly described, and likely affects a substantial number of acute coronary syndrome patients who remain undetected and have the potential to develop to dementia in the future. As domains are most affected, this could impact understanding and retention of health education. Research is needed to accurately determine the prevalence of cognitive impairment in acute coronary syndrome patients and create suitable standardised measures and thresholds.

“…It has also been found that women have a notably higher prevalence of depression post-MI compared to men, with 36% in women and 29% in men. However, the all-cause mortality associated with depression is higher in men, and men with depression post-MI have a worse prognosis than women with depression post-MI [ 9 , 10 ].…”

Background: Myocardial infarction (MI) stands as a prevalent worldwide cause of mortality. The aftermath of an MI often entails an unpleasant experience for individuals, who frequently find themselves overwhelmed. Extensive literature suggests that a significant proportion of patients develop depressive symptoms subsequent to MI. Consequently, the primary objective of this study is to ascertain the prevalence of post-MI depression among affected individuals. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study involving a survey distributed to patients admitted to the King Abdulaziz Medical Center (KAMC) located in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The study involved 210 patients; 72.1% of the sample were men and 27.9% were female. Results: The average age of the participants in this study was 61.96 years old. The mean age of the male participants was 61.10 years old, while the females’ mean age was 64.35 years old. Males made up 75.27% of the participants, while 24.73% were females. Overall, 33.64% of the participants had an abnormal score (depression). The majority of male patients had a normal score, which means that they do not suffer from depression. Among the female patients, 38.60% had an abnormal score. Conclusion: Mental illness is a significant concern, particularly depression. Individuals should go for depression screening post-MI as it will determine their compliance with visiting the hospital, caring for themselves, and taking medications.

Correlates of memory loss and depression among myocardial infarction patients in Al-Qassim, Saudi Arabia

Abstract: Activity level and poor health were identified as correlates of depression as well as combined memory loss and depression. Future studies should aim to improve screening for depression among post-MI patients and develop appropriate interventions to raise the level of activity.
