Researchers systematically adjusted for each potential risk factor to figure out whether it was mediating the link between depression and heart disease. Physiological factors, such as serotonin levels or CRP, for example, appeared not to have much impact.

Indeed, inactivity among the depressed patients gave them a 44% greater risk of having a heart event...
