Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Depression is a risk factor for morbidity and mortality in patients with heart disease, and has a negative impact on quality of life, work capacity and treatment adherence. Screening for depression among heart patients are therefore recommended by the Norwegian Health Authorities. Also, symptoms of anxiety may negatively affect rehabilitation due to e.g. fear of physical activity and excessive worry. Patients currently receiving treatment for heart disease at Diakonhjemmet Hospital will be screened for symptoms of depression and anxiety. If such symptoms are detected, patients will be offered a counselling session with a clinical psychologist. Further, routines for collaborative communication between clinical psychologist, cardiologist and the patient's general physician will be emphasized.
