MOTIV Study- Effect of Antidepressive Treatment by Escitalopram in Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Coronary Artery Disease
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT00243477
Lead Sponsor
Hopital Jean Minjoz
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of an antidepressive medication (Escitalopram), started preoperatively and given during 6 months, on 6-month and 1 year post-operative morbidity and mortality after coronary artery bypass grafting

Detailed Description

Depression is known to have an adverse effect on post-operative mortality and morbidity after coronary artery bypass grafting. Cardiac surgery is known to cause transient depression in patients. The purpose of this double-blind, randomized study is to determine the effect of an antidepressive medication (Escitalopram), started preoperatively and given during 6 months, on 6-month and 1 year post-operative morbidity and mortality after coronary artery bypass grafting. Treatment is given from 21 to 15 days pre-operatively until the 6th post-operative month. Morbidity as defined by the STS database as well as mortality is checked during 1 year.
