Question: Does depression increase risk of incident myocardial infarction among Veterans Administration patients with rheumatoid arthritis?
Answer: Depressed RA patients, without a history of cardiovascular disease, are 40% more likely to have a heart attack as compared to those without depression. These data demonstrate a rapid (within 6 years) transition to MI following onset of depression in RA patients. Increased monitoring of depression and heart disease status in this patient population may be warranted which in turn may result in longer duration of life.
Output:
yes
