Abstract

Objective Vital exhaustion and depression are both independent risk factors for cardiovascular disease, yet the relationship between these highly similar dimensions remains unclear. We have examined the association between depression and vital exhaustion and investigated the extent to which any association is the result of comorbid illnesses. Methods Three hundred and five consecutive patients were examined on average 3.6 days following hospital admission with first myocardial infarction (MI). The Maastricht Questionnaire (MQ; vital exhaustion) was administered together with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and details of comorbid physical illness were recorded. The factor structure of the MQ was explored using factor analysis. Results Depression and vital exhaustion were highly correlated (r=.61, P
