Depressive Störungen sind mit einem erhöhten Risiko für kardiovaskuläre Erkrankungen verbunden. Metaanalysen zeigen, dass auch bei Personen einer Major Depression ohne biologische Risikofaktoren kardiovaskulärer vorliegen. Hierzu zählen insbesondere (i) autonome Dysregulationen, indiziert durch eine herabgesetzte Herzratenvariabilität (HRV) und (ii) erhöhte Blutkonzentrationen von an Entzündungsreaktionen beteiligten Immunmarkern (d.h. C-reaktives Protein, Interleukin (IL)-6...
