Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
* What is the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress among cardiovascular patients?
* What is the prevalence of burnout, depression, and anxiety among healthcare providers in the same department?
The study will also explore potential sociodemographic, occupational, and clinical factors associated with these psychological outcomes.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Similarly, healthcare professionals working in cardiovascular medicine are exposed to continuous psychological stress due to long working hours, critical decision-making, and frequent exposure to life-threatening situations. These stressors contribute to burnout, depression, anxiety, and reduced job satisfaction, all of which may negatively influence patient safety and workforce stability.
Despite the recognized importance of mental health in cardiology, limited data exist from low- and middle-income countries-particularly from Egypt-regarding the concurrent assessment of mental health among both patients and healthcare providers within the same clinical setting.
Therefore, this study aims to estimate the prevalence and correlates of psychiatric symptoms among cardiovascular patients and healthcare providers in a tertiary care center. The results are expected to guide the development of psychosocial support programs and promote mental health awareness in hospital cardiology departments.
