Depression is a common comorbidity in heart failure (HF) and is strongly associated with increased mortality, morbidity, and reduced health status. Whether depression treatment may result in improvement of health status in HF patients with comorbid depression remains unknown. The SADHART-CHF study randomized 469 participants with chronic HF (LVEF 45% and NYHA class II) and major depressive disorder (MDD) DSM-IV criteria) to sertraline or placebo for 12 weeks. The Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ), Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), and 6-minute walk test (6MWT) were used to assess health status. Health status changes between treatment arms and remission status were evaluated adjusting for baseline variables and treatment assignment. The final HDRS scores were 3.50±2.08 and 12.97±4.33 in the remission and non-remission groups, respectively (p-value = 0.0001). Of 469 total participants, 378 (80.6%) completed the 6MWT and 285 (70.1%) completed KCCQ and SF-36, at baseline and at week-12. Depression remission was significantly associated with higher improvements in KCCQ subscale scores (p < 0.001) except on the Self-Efficacy (p=0.18) and Symptom Stability (p=0.91). On the SF-36, depression remission was associated with significant improvement in subscales of the Physical and Mental Component Summary except the Pain Index (p=0.34). The 6MWT improved more in depression remission compared to non-remission group (difference from baseline: 63.51±238.78 vs. 16.24±115.70 meters, p=0.03). HF patients whose depressive symptoms remitted had significantly greater improvement in physical function, social function, and quality of life.
