Background: It has been suggested that increased platelet activation increases the risk of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in patients with depression. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) may attenuate platelet activation by serotonin depletion in platelets. Observational studies have shown discrepant results of AMI risk associated with the use of SSRIs.Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of exposure to different groups of antidepressants, including SSRIs, and the risk of AMI. The study also assessed in more detail the influence of timing of the exposure to antidepressants in a general adult population (
