In this article, the authors review evidence supporting the link between depression in women and their subsequent increased risk for illness and death from coronary heart disease (CHD). Although further research is needed, the evidence to date suggests that women in

Depression predicts onset of and poor outcome from CHD in nondiabetic populations. We hypothesized that the doubled rates of depression in female diabetic patients could help explain the high prevalence of CHD in women with diabetes. Seventy-six female type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients with (N=16) or without (N=60) active major depression (DSM-III) at index evaluation underwent systematic annual investigation of diabetes and its complications for up to 10 years. Occurrences of CHD and other macrovascular complications were examined in relation to depression status using survival analysis statistics. A multivariate model incorporating other CHD risk factors (age, duration of diabetes, body mass index, glycosylated hemoglobin, and presence of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, or tobacco use) was used to determine independent effects of depression on outcome. Development of CHD was significantly more rapid in the depressed subset (p<0.01 between 10-year curves), an effect that persisted after controlling for base-line differences in body mass index. Depression also was retained as an independent predictor of CHD in the multivariate model with an age-adjusted hazard ratio of 5.2 (95% CI: 1.4-18.9; p=.01). In contrast, depression did not predict the development of clinically apparent peripheral or cerebrovascular disease. In this sample of diabetic women, major depression was an independent risk factor that accelerated the development of CHD. Depression recognition and management may improve outcomes from diabetes in this gender subgroup.

Research relating to these approaches is reviewed in the present article. Biofeedback training both for facial muscle relaxation and for respiratory resistance decrease improves short-term pulmonary function in asthmatic individuals. These forms of training represent promising avenues for the management of asthma. However, unqualified endorsement of these procedures is premature, at the present time, since their influence on asthma-related variables other than pulmonary function has not been determined and since their long-term effects have not 5een investigated. Despite the considerable interest that exists in the application of biofeedback training for the treatment of psychosomatic disorders, relatively few studies have evaluated the usefulness of biofeedback procedures intended to reduce symptoms of bronchial asthma. Up to the present time, two classes of biofeedback operations have been employed for the treatment of asthma: feedback of skeletal muscle tension and feedback based on respiratory activities. Both feedback procedures have yielded promising initial results. However, the clinical usefulness of either procedure has not been determined clearly.
