Clinical depression among patients after acute coronary syndrome: a prospective single-tertiary centre analysis.

Introduction: Clinical depression is a known consequence of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and is associated with an adverse outcome among these patients, although this is often under-recognised. Through this study, we investigated the incidence of depression in post-ACS patients and its associated factors.

Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study in 95 patients with ACS admitted to University Malaya Medical Centre, Malaysia.
