Co-prevalence and incidence of depression and/or anxiety with stroke and myocardial infarction are currently unclear. This paper explores the relationships, as these are important comorbidities affecting patient outcomes.A systematic search across five databases (PubMed, Scopus, PsycINFO, Embase, Cochrane) was conducted for observational studies reporting co-prevalence of depression or anxiety with stroke or myocardial infarction. We used random-effects models in all meta-analyses and evaluated heterogeneity using IThis analysis included 48 studies with a total of 57,342 patients. In patients with depression, the pooled prevalence of stroke was 5.9% (95% CI = 5.53-6.37). In patients with myocardial infarction, the pooled prevalence of anxiety and depression was 9.1% (95% CI = 7.07-11.40, IThis meta-analysis outlines the co-morbid burden between depression/anxiety and stroke/myocardial infarction. Future research should be done to evaluate the effectiveness of screening anxiety/depression in myocardial infarction/stroke.
