Strong emotional reactions are common in patients admitted to cardiac critical care; only some are pathological. Cardiac critical care and associated technologies are associated with predictable psychiatric problems. Many occur as secondary complications of the medical status of the patient, which must be carefully assessed. Depression is common in patients with coronary disease and also for patients with heart failure; treatment is helpful, but persistent depression is associated with elevated morbidity and mortality. Preexisting psychiatric disorders may predispose to heart disease, and they and their treatment may affect critical care management.
