Depression and anxiety more common in heart failure than cancer patients

Nearly one in four patients with heart failure is depressed or anxious, according to a study published during this week’s Heart Failure Awareness Days. Patients with heart failure were 20% more likely to develop these mental health issues during the five years after diagnosis compared to those with cancer. The findings are published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, a journal of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC).
