AB  - Results from the Bypassing the Blues trial [NCT00091962] indicate that depression screening shortly after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG), telephone follow-up using evidence-based depression treatment protocols, and patient education that is supervised by primary care physicians (ie, collaborative care) can improve health-related quality of life, physical functioning, and mood symptoms and thereby speed patient recovery following CABG surgery.
