Depression + Anxiety correlation with MPI imaging
Ansari-Gilani, Tehran, Iran
Depression has been shown as a risk factor for cardiac disease
Patients with a high BDI score had a statistically significant correlation with the perfusion difference score
The effect is stronger with 3 vessel disease and also with depression than anxiety but both had significant P values
Interestingly it was also true before patients had a diagnosis of CAD
