Abstract

Introduction: Depression is a mental state disorder that affects a good number of people around the world and that, along with anxiety, is a wide-reaching problem that can strike patients after undergoing heart surgery.

Objectives: To determine the levels of depression and anxiety, and their relationship with overweight and obesity, in patients attending cardiac rehabilitation phases I and II.

Method: Fifty patients receiving cardiac rehabilitation (25 in phase I and 25 in phase II) were selected. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was used to screen anxiety and depression disorders. In addition, the anthropometry of the participants was examined and Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk normality tests were performed. Mean, standard deviation and Pearson correlation coefficient with a significant degree of p<0.050 were also applied.

Results: The 50 participants (66% men) had an average age of 63.86±10.99, with postoperative diagnosis of coronary-artery bypass grafting (44%), coronary angioplasty (40%), atherosclerotic disease (4%), aortic valve replacement (4%), atrial septal defect closure (4%), implanted pacemaker (2%) and physical deconditioning (2%). Depression was found at 36% and anxiety at 30%.

Conclusions: There is a high prevalence of depression and anxiety in cardiac rehabilitation programs; its frequency is higher in phase I compared to phase II. Moreover, we found that there is a slight-mild correlation between anxiety versus normal weight and obesity, as well as depression versus overweight.
