Impact of psychological factors on the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease and implications for therapy.
TLDR
Suggestions to improve the assessment of behavioral interventions include more complete delineation of the physiological mechanisms by which such interventions might work; increased use of new, more convenient "alternative" end points for behavioral intervention trials; development of specifically targeted behavioral interventions (based on profiling of patient factors); and evaluation of previously developed models of predicting behavioral change.

Depression as a Risk Factor for Coronary Artery Disease: Evidence, Mechanisms, and Treatment
TLDR
There is substantial evidence for a relationship between depression and adverse clinical outcomes, however, despite the availability of effective therapies for depression, there is a paucity of data to support the efficacy of these interventions to improve clinical outcomes for depressed CAD patients.
