Physical inactivity after cardiac surgery linked with substantially higher risk of depression

New research indicates that inactive patients following cardiac surgery have a substantially higher risk of depression and that the number of patients suffering from depression after cardiac surgery is as high as 40%. Investigators recommend that cardiac patients should be assessed for depression and level of physical activity and remain as active as they safely can after surgery to minimize post-operative depression. The results were published in the December issue of the Canadian Journal of Cardiology. via Health News from Medical News Today Read More Here..
