Abstract
These observations lead the author to propose that a primary defect in the PFC of depressed subjects destabilises the autonomic neurocardiac axis, accounting for the proven adverse effect of depression on CAD. This novel neurological mechanism can help to develop other current theories and to design and trial future therapies to reduce the adverse effect of depression on coronary artery disease.
