Depression and anxiety symptoms as predictors of mortality in PCI patients at 10 years of follow-up

Depression is associated with an increased risk of 77% for all-cause mortality, 10 years post-PCI, independently of anxiety. Although anxiety was associated with all-cause mortality, it has no additional value in the case of co-occurring depression.
