PREDICTORS OF DEPRESSION IN PATIENTS DIAGNOSED WITH MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION AFTER PERCUTANEOUS CORONARY INTERVENTION: A LITERATURE REVIEW

Objective: This study identified the factors associated with depression in patients diagnosed with myocardial infarction (MI) who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: We searched the literature using PubMed and Google Scholar from their inception in 2010 to 2022. The search terms were “myocardial infarction,” “depression,” and “percutaneous coronary intervention.” Studies which investigated factors associated with depression in patients diagnosed with MI who underwent typical medical procedures were searched. Results: Various commonly discussed factors were identified as possible risk factors for depression in patients who were diagnosed with MI and underwent PCI: gender; negative illness beliefs; neuroticism; autonomy; baseline depression scores; previous diagnosis of depression, anxiety, or stress; smoking; marital status; Type D personality; procedure; length of hospital stay; fat intake; functional disability; time engaged in physical activity; social support; and a history of angina, MI, coronary artery bypass graft surgery, PCI, diabetes mellitus, and stroke
