Depression is a risk factor for mortality following acute myocardial infarction (AMI). It is also associated with sleep disturbances, and with elevated heart rate (HR), which may be more pronounced at night. Resting and 24 hour HR have been found to predict mortality in patient and community samples. The purpose of this study was to determine: 1) whether depressed patients with a recent AMI have higher nighttime HR than nondepressed patients, and 2) whether elevated nighttime HR is associated with decreased survival following AMI. Ambulatory ECG data were obtained from 333 depressed and 383 nondepressed patients with a recent AMI. They were followed for up to 30 (median = 24) months. Depressed patients had higher nighttime (70.7 ∀ .7 versus 67.7 ∀ .6 bpm; p=.001), and daytime (76.4 ∀.7 versus 74.2 ∀ .6 bpm; p=.02) HR than nondepressed patients, even after adjusting for potential confounds. Depression (H.R. = 2.19; p=.02) and nighttime (H.R. = 1.03; p=.004), but not daytime HR, predicted survival after adjusting for other major predictors and for each other. Mean day and nighttime HRs are higher in depressed than in nondepressed patients following an AMI, and both depression and nighttime HR are independent predictors of mortality in these patients. Although depressed patients have a higher nighttime HR than nondepressed patients, elevated nighttime HR predicts mortality independent of depression status.
