Abstract
This study will determine the effects of omega-3 fatty acid (FA) augmentation of sertraline on depression and cardiac endpoints after myocardial infarction (MI).
Conditions: Cardiovascular Diseases, Depression, Heart Diseases, Myocardial Infarction, Angina, Unstable.
Primary outcome: Beck Depression Inventory-II.
Enrollment: 122 participants.
