Aim:
To evaluate prevalence of depression and anxiety disorders in patients with CHF and dementia in eastern states population
and analyze their possible predictors and risk factors who were coming to AIIMS from eastern India.
Method:
Patients with heart failure and dementia were hospitalized in AIIMS CN Center between January 1984 to July 2000
were included in the study. Patients were given self-administered questionnaires viz. Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale and
Zung Self-Rating Anxiety scale for depression and anxiety assessment during hospitalization. Demographic data and physical
history of patients were collected. Statistical analysis: Data obtained were assessed using one-way analysis of variance or
Student’s t-test wherever appropriate.
Result:
Of a total of 80 patients, 62 returned the questionnaires. Mean age of participants was 61 years. Mean depression and
anxiety scores were 55.9±1.49 and 54.9±1.49, respectively. Depression was common in patients with class II and III heart
failure, patients with multiple comorbid conditions and those with previous history of stroke or MI (p<0.05). Depression was
found to be significant in patients who were on adjuvant beta blockers and statins (p<0.05) compared to patients on other
medications. The main predictors of anxiety were presence of comorbidities and severity of disease.
Conclusion:
NYHA class II and III, advancing age, presence of comorbidities and previous history of MI showed a strong
positive association with depression and anxiety scores. Patients on beta blockers and statins were reported to have higher
levels of depression. Early diagnosis of mood disorders may aid in long-term management and better quality of life in heart
failure patients.
