    Heart disease significantly increases the risk of depression among middle-aged and elderly patients, affecting their quality of life and treatment outcomes.

  • 2

    Approximately 30% to 40% of heart disease patients in this demographic experience depression, with clinical screening rates below 30%.

  • 3

    Machine learning algorithms can enhance the prediction of depression risk by integrating multidimensional data from various sources.

  • 4

    The study utilizes CHARLS 2015 data to identify predictive factors for depression in heart disease patients and develop user-friendly predictive models.

  • 5

    A total of 947 heart disease patients were analyzed, with 44.6% exhibiting depressive symptoms, highlighting the need for effective identification and intervention.
