Depression and acute miocardic infarct

V diplomskem delu smo predstavili depresijo in akutni miokardni infarkt (AMI). Izpostavili smo najpogostejše dejavnike tveganja za depresijo in AMI. Opisali smo tudi pomen psihokardiologije, ki raziskuje psihološke dejavnike, povezane z razvojem in prisotnostjo koronarne bolezni. V empiričnem delu je predstavljena raziskava, ki je potekala na interni kliniki za kardiologijo v Ljubljani. V njej je sodelovalo 61 bolnikov po preživelem miokardnem infarktu, ki so potrebovali medicinsko ukrepanje, pri katerih smo skušali ugotoviti prisotnost depresivne simptomatike oz. prisotnost same depresivne motnje. Namen diplomskega dela je bil prikazati komorbidnost oz. povezanost med depresijo in AMI. Ugotavljali smo tudi, ali komorbidni AMI in depresija podaljšujeta hospitalizacijo zaradi samega AMI. Prav tako smo ugotavljali dejavnike tveganja za srčno-žilne bolezni, ki pa so povezani tudi z nastankom ali nadaljnjem razvoju depresije, saj je človeški organizem entiteta telesnega in duševnega. Tako je tudi zdravje eno samo. Bolezni srca in ožilja so glavni vzrok smrti. Mnenja strokovnjakov, da se bo depresija prebila v sam vrh vzroka smrti v naslednjih 20 letih, če ne celo prehitela srčno žilne bolezni, nam daje na znanje skrb za dobro mentalno ter telesno zdravje. Psihične bolezni imajo velik vpliv na organizem, kar potrjuje dejstvo, da veliko ljudi z koronarno boleznijo boleha za depresijo. Seveda obstaja tudi korelacija v nasprotni smeri.In this diploma we have presented depression and acute miocardic infarct (AMI). We have exposed the most frequent factors of risk for depression and AMI. We have also described the importance of psihocardiology, which researches psyhological factors, connected with the development and presence of coronar illness. In the empirical part of the work we have presented the research done at the Internal clinic of cardiology in Ljubljana. Sixty-one patients have taken part in it, all of them after AMI and have needed medical treatment. We have tried to find out the presence of depression symptomatics or presence of depressive disturbance. The aim of this diploma work was to show comorbid or connection between the depression and AMI. We have researched also if comorbid AMI and depression prolong hospitalization because of AMI. We have also wanted to find out the factors of risk for heart-venal diseases that are also connected with apppearance and further development of depression. Human organism is an entity of physical and physical. So the health is the only one. Heart and venae diseases are the main cause of death. The scientists think that in 20 years depression will became the main cause for death, if it will not overtake heart-venae diseases. So we have to take care for good mental and physical health. Physical diseases have a great influence on the organism. There is the fact that many people with coronar illness have problems with depression. There is also correlation in both ways
