Objective.
This study aimed to assess the
effects of low-dose dopamine on patients with depression in the intensive
coronary unit.
Methods: Relatives of 43 ICU patients enrolled in the study.
Sociodemographic characteristics of patients and their families recorded.
Patients evaluated basal echocardiographic and biochemical values measured in
the patient group. The Beck Anxiety and Depression Scale was used to assess
anxiety and depression. The assessment performed by Beck scale at the 1stand 24th
hour.
Results: The final study population consisted of 42 patients
hospitalized with heart failure. Mean patient age was 67.5 ± 12.6 years.
Average EF was 23.5% ± 8.7% and mean ProBNP was 6343.76 pg/mL in our study
population. Changes of before and after dopamine treatment in depression score
of heart failure patients was showed
significantly (before value: 18.95 ± 9.89; after value: 17.29 ± 10.30, p < 0.001) however systolic and
diastolic pressure difference was not significant.
Conclusion: Depression increased mortality
and hospitalization in patients with
heart failure. Therefore, it is an essential trial because of low-dose dopamine
improve depression score in intensive care patients. However, prospective
studies were needed to assess the long-term efficacy of dopamine.
