One of the possible pathogenetic factors is dysregulation of the autonomous nervous system, resulting in heart rate variability reduction.Methods: Twenty two patients hospitalised due to a first myocardial infarction were included. The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was used to rate the severity of their depressive symptoms.Results: Depressive symptomatology, defined as BDI ≥10, was present in 36.3% of the patients. Increase in heart rate variability (HRV) was observed in both groups during the first 6 months after the myocardial infarction. The HRV was significantly lower in the depressed group compared to patients without depression.Conclusion: Presence of depression after the myocardial infarction (MI) is associated with a significant decrease of the time domain HRV measure SDNN (standard deviation of all normal RR intervals) and with its slower increase during at least a three months period.Keywords: depression, myocardial infarction, autonomic nervous system, heart rate variabilityWilkowska ARynkiewicz AWdowczyk JLandowski JCubała WJDove Medical Pressarticledepressionmyocardial infarctionautonomic nervous systemheart rate variabilityNeurosciences.
