Abstract

The occurrence of depression, anxiety, and insomnia is strikingly high in patients with heart failure and is linked to increased morbidity and mortality. However, symptoms are frequently unrecognized and the integration of mental health into cardiology care plans is not routine. This article describes the prevalence, identification, and treatment of common comorbid psychological disorders.

Keywords: Anxiety; Depression; Heart failure; Insomnia; Outcomes; Prognosis; Screening.
