Abstract :The comorbidity between cardiovascular disease insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CVD); and depression has been observed for many years. Several biological and behavioral  hypotheses have been proposed to explain this comorbidity. However, the underlying common mechanisms are still unclear. Evidence suggests  a bidirectional relationship between depression and CVD. Inflammation has been implicated in the etiology of both depression and CVD. In this  review, we aim to increase awareness for CVD and depression comorbidity and provide some insights about the possible role of inflammation.
