Relationship between a Self-Reported History of Depression and Persistent Elevation in C-Reactive Protein after Myocardial Infarction
Background: Elevated levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) are associated with both an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and depression. We aimed to test the hypothesis that a self-report history of depression is associated with a smaller decrease in CRP levels from hospital admission to 3...

description | Background: Elevated levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) are associated with both an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and depression. We aimed to test the hypothesis that a self-report history of depression is associated with a smaller decrease in CRP levels from hospital admission to 3-month follow-up in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI). Methods: We assessed 183 patients (median age 59 years; 84% men) with verified MI for a self-report history of lifetime depression and plasma CRP levels within 48 h of an acute coronary intervention and again for CRP levels at three months. CRP values were categorized according to their potential to predict CVD risk at hospital admission (acute inflammatory response: 0 to <5 mg/L, 5 to <10 mg/L, 10 to <20 mg/L, and ≥20 mg/L) and at 3 months (low-grade inflammation: 0 to <1 mg/L, 1 to <3 mg/L, and ≥3 mg/L). Additionally, in a subsample of 84 patients showing admission CRP levels below 20 mg/L, changes in continuous CRP values over time were also analyzed. Results: After adjustment for a range of potentially important covariates, depression history showed a significant association with a smaller decrease in both CRP risk categories (r = 0.261, p < 0.001) and log CRP levels (r = 0.340, p = 0.005) over time. Conclusions: Self-reported history of depression may be associated with persistently elevated systemic inflammation three months after MI. This finding warrants studies to test whether lowering of inflammation in patients with an acute MI and a history of depression may improve prognosis. |
