Treatment for depression in patients with acute coronary syndrome
The next ACLP Virtual Journal Club session is on the article:
Effect of Escitalopram vs Placebo Treatment for Depression on Long-term Cardiac Outcomes in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Wednesday, August 14, 12:30-1:00pm EST
The article will be presented by Jeff Huffman, MD, FACLP, professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School; director of the Cardiac Psychiatry Research Program and associate chief of clinical services at Massachusetts General Hospital; and editor-in-chief of General Hospital Psychiatry.
