- Abstract
Depression is commonly reported after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), and after cardiac surgery in general. Many earlier reports relied on non-standard assessments of depression, which may have overestimated its frequency. Cognitive decline has also been reported after CABG. We assessed the frequency of depression after CABG by a validated depression measure (Center for Epidemiological Study of Depression, CES-D), and examined the relation between depression and cognitive decline.
