Abstract
Based on this knowledge, the hypothesis of a rise of MAO activity in HF seems to be well established. The large prevalence of comorbid MD in HF could be due to the deamination of monoamines linked with MAOs activity. In addition, MAOIs are effective in MD and well tolerated among the elderly according to the literature. This original hypothesis provides a new perspective in the use of MAOIs in HF patients with MD.
