Title

Metabolomic differences in heart failure patients with and without major depression

Overall design

The aim of this study was to determine metabolic differences in depressed and nondepressed participants. The sample consisted of a depressed group of patients with heart failure enrolled in an NIMH-supported clinical trial of sertraline versus placebo in depressed heart failure patients, and a non-depressed comparator group of heart failure patients. Blood samples were obtained from currently depressed individuals (depressed group, n = 40) and non-depressed control participants (control group, n = 40). Plasma samples were profiled on GC-MS and LC-MS metabolomics platforms for biochemical content.
