Short Summary of the Article:
This study explores the impact of mental health treatment, specifically addressing anxiety and depression, on patients with heart disease, particularly those with ischemic heart disease and heart failure. It demonstrates that mental health interventions, such as psychotherapy and antidepressant medications, significantly reduce the likelihood of hospital readmissions, emergency department visits, and overall mortality. The findings advocate for screening and treating mental health conditions in patients with cardiovascular diseases to improve both heart disease outcomes and quality of life.
