Predictive value of depression and anxiety for long-term mortality: differences in outcome between acute coronary syndrome and stable angina pectoris

Anxiety at baseline was associated with an increased 10-year mortality rate after PCI. Depression was also associated with higher 10-year mortality, however the association disappeared after additional adjustment for anxiety. This finding was more pronounced in patients presenting with SA as compared to those presenting with ACS, which might be a result of the increasing number of ACS patients treated with pPCI.
