[An episode of depression in a patient with coronary artery disease].
An episode of depression in a patient with Ischaemic Heart Disease is presented. The patient had undergone coronary angioplasty with optimal results. The clinical picture of the depressive disorder consisted mainly of chest pain complaints in the cardiac area, which made the diagnosis all the more difficult. The application of antidepressive treatment caused the depressive symptoms together with the chest pain to disappear. A therapeutic success was achieved owing to the good co-operation between the invasive cardiologist and the psychiatrist.
