Why do we stay in prison when the door is wide open? - Jalal ad-Din Rumi. Depression is an independent risk factor for the development of CAD. Patients with CAD have a high rate of depression, which worsens their prognosis. Screening CAD patients with the 2-question PHQ-2 to identify those at greatest risk of depression is strongly recommended, as is referring patients for further evaluation and possible treatment when depression has been identified by the PHQ-9. Treating depression is likely to improve cardiovascular outcomes. The PHQs are in the public domain and free to use. To download and for more information, visit www. phqscreeners.com.
当门大开时,我们为何还留在狱中?——贾拉鲁丁·鲁米。抑郁症是冠心病发生的独立危险因素。冠心病患者的抑郁症发病率很高,这会使他们的预后更糟。强烈建议使用包含两个问题的患者健康问卷-2(PHQ-2)对冠心病患者进行筛查,以识别那些抑郁症风险最高的患者,同样,当通过患者健康问卷-9(PHQ-9)识别出抑郁症患者时,应将其转介进行进一步评估和可能的治疗。治疗抑郁症可能会改善心血管疾病的预后。患者健康问卷是公开的,可以免费使用。要下载并获取更多信息,请访问www.phqscreeners.com。
