Younger age (P = 0.003) was a significant predictor of depressive symptoms. Perceived stress was not associated with long-term cortisol concentrations (P = 0.161).Conclusions: Cortisol concentrations in hair do not predict depressive symptoms in CAD patients attending cardiac rehabilitation.Keywords: cortisol, depression, hair, coronary artery disease Yekta DowlatiNathan HerrmannWalter Swardfageret alDove Medical PressarticleNeurosciences.
