Abstract
Commonly encountered stressors in adults with CHD include unemployment and lower annual household income. This was compounded by an inverse correlation between depression and employment status/household income. Given the impact of depression on cardiovascular disease, this may now justify screening in this population. Identification of these psychosocial factors may become an essential method to identify the 'at-risk' patient and target preventive efforts.
