Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) levels in patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) with and without depression

Highlights • Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) commonly comorbid with depression. • Erythrocyte polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are measured in CVDs comorbid with depression. • Patients with CVDs comorbid moderate/severe depression have lower omega-3 PUFAs (N3) levels. • No difference in N3 levels...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) commonly comorbid with depression. • Erythrocyte polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are measured in CVDs comorbid with depression. • Patients with CVDs comorbid moderate/severe depression have lower omega-3 PUFAs (N3) levels. • No difference in N3 levels when a less rigorous definition of depression is applied.
