Abstract

Depression has a high incidence in patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and shows adverse effects on their life quality and prognosis. With the advent of new antidepressant drugs, oral antidepressant drugs are increasingly used in CVD patients with depression, and their efficacy and safety have attracted attention. Commonly used antidepressant drugs have many adverse reactions. When applying antidepressant drugs in CVD patients, we should pay special attention to their cardiovascular adverse reactions and their interaction drugs with commonly used CVD drugs. Clinicians should comprehensively evaluate and select appropriate antidepressant drugs for patients.
