Implication

Observational research shows higher physical activity reduces depression scores in patients post cardiac surgery, implying a need for activity promotion.

Key Points

Depression prevalence remains high at 18 months after cardiac surgery, indicating a critical need for ongoing support.
Physical activity levels, measured by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, are inversely associated with depression scores.
Depression increased significantly post-surgery, decreased initially, but then rose again by 18 months, demonstrating a fluctuating mental health landscape.
Promoting physical activity could be a vital intervention for improving mental health outcomes in cardiac surgery patients.
