Summary: This study conducted a bibliometric analysis on the association between coronary heart disease (CHD) and depression or anxiety, identifying leading authors, institutions, and countries. The research hotspots were found to be the relationship between depression and CHD, depression and myocardial infarction, and characteristics of women suffering depression after MI. Potential future research directions include treating depression in CHD patients with multimorbidity, assessing psychometric properties of instruments for depression and anxiety in CHD patients, exploring depression or anxiety in post-PCI patients, and investigating other mental diseases in CHD patients.

Summary: A study examining county-level achievement of reducing coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke death rates by 20% from 2007 to 2017 found that for those aged 35 and above, 56.1% of counties achieved a 20% reduction in CHD death rates and 39.8% achieved a reduction in stroke death rates. Urban counties were more likely to achieve this goal.

Summary: In patients with stable coronary heart disease, a trajectory of high stable symptoms of depression was associated with an increased risk of incident diabetes mellitus (DM) and subsequent cardiovascular events (CVE). Identifying depressive symptoms and providing relevant treatment may be an important and promising approach to improve outcomes in patients with coronary heart disease, warranting further research and implementation.

Summary: The study found that cardiovascular disease costs the EU 282 billion annually, with 55% allocated to health and long-term care, accounting for 11% of EU health expenditure. This provides important evidence for policymaking to address the economic burden of CVD.

Summary: This study found associations between neuroimaging markers and depressive symptoms in middle-aged and elderly individuals. Specifically, smaller total brain volume, larger white matter hyperintensities volume, presence of cortical infarcts, and higher mean diffusivity were cross-sectionally associated with more depressive symptoms. Longitudinal analyses showed that smaller total brain volume and presence of cortical infarcts were associated with increasing depressive symptoms over time. These associations were more pronounced at older ages.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of depression and anxiety in CHD patients and explore the association between established cardiovascular risk factors and depression as well as anxiety. The study found that the prevalence rates of depression and anxiety in CHD patients were 8.2% and 5.4%, respectively. Female gender, smoking, and hyperlipidemia were associated with a higher occurrence of depression, while female gender was associated with a higher occurrence of anxiety.

Summary: This study investigates the association between prenatal depression and new-onset cardiovascular disease (CVD) postpartum. The results show that pregnant individuals with prenatal depression have an increased risk of developing CVD within the first 24 months after giving birth, even in the absence of co-occurring hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.

Summary: This study found that Chinese herbal medicine showed significant efficacy in treating coronary heart disease patients with anxiety or depression, especially in improving the symptom of angina pectoris. The active compounds of Chinese herbal medicine could simultaneously act on the pathological targets of CHD, anxiety, and depression, with advantages of multiple effective components and multiple targets compared with Western medicine.

Summary: This study assessed the features of vascular depression in patients undergoing coronary artery graft bypass (CABG) surgery. The study found that pre-CABG depression is associated with cognitive and functional impairment, but there was no evidence of an association with older age of onset and middle cerebral artery (MCA) stenosis.

Summary: This study aimed to systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of Xinkeshu (XKS) for coronary heart disease (CHD) complicated with anxiety or depression. The study included 18 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with a total of 1907 subjects. The results showed that compared with single-use western medicine, XKS combined with western medicine significantly reduced anxiety and depression scores, improved clinical efficacy, and had mild adverse reactions. However, more high-quality RCTs are needed to validate the conclusions.

Summary: This study investigated the evolution of depression in ACS patients one year after smoking cessation. The results showed that smokers with depression at the time of ACS were more likely to improve their depression if they quit smoking compared to continuous smokers. The incidence of new depression among smokers who quit after ACS was similar to continuous smokers.

Summary: The study evaluates the feasibility of attention training technique (ATT) in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients with symptoms of anxiety and depression. The results suggest that ATT in a group format appears to be a feasible stand-alone metacognitive treatment for CHD patients, effectively reducing anxiety, depression, and other related symptoms.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between educational level as an indicator of socioeconomic status and the use of mental health services, psychotropic medication, and psychotherapy in Finland. The results showed that low educational level was associated with higher odds of using antidepressants, hypnotics, and sedatives, and lower odds of using mental health services. No associations were found between educational level and use of psychotherapy.

Summary: The study suggests that properties of the mother's residential green environment, such as greenness, vegetation cover diversity, and naturalness index, are associated with changes in the composition of human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), which have health effects on infants. The results highlight the mediating role of breastfeeding between residential green environments and early life health.

Summary: This study examined changes in physical and mental functioning before the onset of frailty using repeat data spanning 25 years. The results showed that differences in trajectories of physical and mental functioning were observable 25 years before the onset of frailty. Furthermore, lower physical and mental functioning scores at age 50 were associated with an increased risk of developing frailty at older ages.

Summary: This study found that severe infections are associated with an increased risk of major cardiovascular events, with the highest risk occurring in the first month after infection. The association remained elevated throughout the follow-up period. There is a small excess risk of long-term cardiovascular disease associated with severe infections.

Summary: The increasing number of people with dementia globally highlights the urgent need to reduce its scale and impact. Lifetime social participation may play a crucial role in reducing dementia risk and could have implications for individual behavior and public health policy. However, more research is needed to fully understand the causal relationship.
