Heart Failure Boosts Depression Risk!

Heart failure appears to be a substantial risk factor for the development of depression among adults over the age of 40. In this study, German researchers followed 66,497 heart failure (HF) patients and a similar number of people without heart failure for five years and found participants in the HF group were 60% more likely to be diagnosed with depression during the course of the study.
