[Impact of psychiatric disturbances on the outcome of coronary bypass surgery].
The influence of anxiety and depression on the development and prognosis of coronary disease seems to be well established but there are few studies of the effects of these disturbances on the postoperative outcome of coronary surgery. The object of this review of the literature was to present recent data on this subject and to suggest therapeutic strategies for patients referred for coronary bypass surgery to improve their quality of life and even cardiovascular prognosis.
