Journal ArticleDOI

James A. Blumenthal,Michael A. Babyak,P. Murali Doraiswamy,Lana L. Watkins,Benson M. Hoffman,Krista A. Barbour,Steve Herman,W. Edward Craighead,Alisha L. Brosse,Robert A. Waugh,Alan L. Hinderliter,Andrew Sherwood +11 more
TL;DR: The efficacy of exercise in patients seems generally comparable with patients receiving antidepressant medication and both tend to be better than the placebo in patients with MDD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Depression, Heart Rate Variability, and Acute Myocardial Infarction
Robert M. Carney,James A. Blumenthal,Phyllis K. Stein,Lana L. Watkins,Diane J. Catellier,Lisa F. Berkman,Susan M. Czajkowski,Christopher M. O'Connor,Peter Stone,Kenneth E. Freedland +9 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that greater autonomic dysfunction, as reflected by decreased HRV, is a plausible mechanism linking depression to increased cardiac mortality in post-MI patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of the DASH Diet Alone and in Combination With Exercise and Weight Loss on Blood Pressure and Cardiovascular Biomarkers in Men and Women With High Blood Pressure: The ENCORE Study
James A. Blumenthal,Michael A. Babyak,Alan L. Hinderliter,Lana L. Watkins,Linda W. Craighead,Pao-Hwa Lin,Carla Caccia,Julie Johnson,Robert A. Waugh,Andrew Sherwood +9 more
TL;DR: For overweight or obese persons with above-normal BP, the addition of exercise and weight loss to the DASH diet resulted in even larger BP reductions, greater improvements in vascular and autonomic function, and reduced left ventricular mass.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Exercise and Stress Management Training on Markers of Cardiovascular Risk in Patients With Ischemic Heart Disease A Randomized Controlled Trial
James A. Blumenthal,Andrew Sherwood,Michael A. Babyak,Lana L. Watkins,Robert A. Waugh,Anastasia Georgiades,Simon L. Bacon,Junichiro Hayano,R. Edward Coleman,Alan L. Hinderliter +9 more
TL;DR: For patients with stable IHD, exercise and stress management training reduced emotional distress and improved markers of cardiovascular risk more than usual medical care alone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of anxiety and depression with all-cause mortality in individuals with coronary heart disease.
Lana L. Watkins,Gary G. Koch,Andrew Sherwood,James A. Blumenthal,Jonathan R. T. Davidson,Christopher M. O'Connor,Michael H. Sketch +6 more
TL;DR: Elevated scores on the HADS anxiety subscale were associated with increased risk of mortality after accounting for established risk factors including age, congestive heart failure, left ventricular ejection fraction, 3‐vessel disease, and renal disease and when both psychosocial factors were included in the model.
