Primary outcomePrimary: Beck Depression Inventory 2 — 17.4; 15.9 units on a scale
Summary
This study compares the effects of depression screening and case management to usual care in cardiology outpatients with documented evidence of coronary heart disease. Despite strong evidence that depression is a risk factor for cardiac events, there is insufficient evidence to support the use of depression screening in cardiac patients.
