Impact of psychological factors on the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease and implications for therapy.
TL;DR: Suggestions to improve the assessment of behavioral interventions include more complete delineation of the physiological mechanisms by which such interventions might work; increased use of new, more convenient "alternative" end points for behavioral intervention trials; development of specifically targeted behavioral interventions (based on profiling of patient factors); and evaluation of previously developed models of predicting behavioral change.

Depression Following Myocardial Infarction: Impact on 6-Month Survival
TL;DR: Major depression in patients hospitalized following an MI is an independent risk factor for mortality at 6 months and its impact is at least equivalent to that of left ventricular dysfunction (Killip class) and history of previous MI.
