Hypertension (HTN) is a prevalent and important risk factor for both cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. Depression is often present in hypertensive patients and has also been associated with increased mortality risk. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of depressive symptoms with all-cause mortality and ischemic heart disease (IHD) mortality among adults with self-reported HTN.
