Summary
Addressing depression in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients is crucial. This study identified barriers and developed a multilevel strategy to improve depression screening and treatment for better health outcomes in CHD patients.
Area of Science:
- Behavioral Science
- Implementation Science
- Public Health
Background:
- Depression significantly worsens health outcomes for patients with coronary heart disease (CHD).
- Despite established guidelines, optimal screening and treatment for depression in CHD patients remain underutilized.
- A gap exists in effectively integrating depression care into CHD management.
Conclusions:
- Applied behavioral and implementation science to create a multilevel strategy for enhancing depression screening and treatment uptake in CHD.
- The iHeart DepCare strategy targets system, provider, and patient levels to overcome identified barriers.
- The strategy will be evaluated in a future hybrid II effectiveness-implementation trial.

304
Atypical antidepressants, including bupropion (Wellbutrin), mirtazapine (Remeron), nefazodone (Serzone), trazodone (Desyrel), and vilazodone (Viibryd), offer unique mechanisms of action. Bupropion weakly inhibits dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake, aiding depression treatment and smoking cessation, with a low risk of sexual dysfunction. Mirtazapine enhances serotonin and norepinephrine neurotransmission, leading to sedation, increased appetite, and weight gain. As a result, it helps treat...

Unlike psychoanalytic methods that delve into unconscious processes or humanistic approaches emphasizing...
