Can you explain this one sentence further?

The #1 killer of women is cardio-vascular disease, and the #1 predictor of death following an initial heartattack is "Depression".

So, someone who lives with depression, then has a heart attack has a higher risk of dying from the attack? So your point is that people with depression should ensure it's being properly treated....in case they have a heart attack?

Or are you saying, if I have a heart attack, I'd better be alert for signs of depression...cuz that someone makes me more at risk for? I'm lost.

Please don't read any tone into this post; I'm just trying to understand that sentence.

I think he is referring to the co-morbidity of physical and psychological issues?

I don't know either

So ... I work. I am not as sick as someone who doesn't work.

That's the explanation I needed ... thank you
