Patients diagnosed with depression were less likely to adhere to essential medical therapies following percutaneous coronary intervention than those without depression, according to a new study published by @PittTweet researchers. upmc.me/3FqGuXi
ALT Photo and quote from Dr. Jared Magnani: “We provide critical and sometimes lifesaving therapies to our patients with heart disease, and then prescribe therapies which we know can help them. If depression challenges or reduces their ability to adhere to those medications, then it is essential to address depression as part of cardiovascular care and treatment.”
