Association between Sufferers of Disabled Somatic Heart Disease and Suicide

Abstract

A significant proportion of cardiac patients suffer from depression, which precedes suicidal thoughts. This study identifies clinical vulnerabilities for suicidal ideation in cardiac patients. Although population studies have examined risk factors for suicidal ideation, the prevalence and associated factors in individuals with suicidal ideation are largely unknown. This article aims to explore the factors associated with suicidal thoughts in coronary heart disease.

Coronary heart disease is one of the most common diseases in humans associated with depression, which in turn is associated with an increased risk of suicide. Thus, the interaction between this disease and in relation to suicide must be assessed.
