Core Tip In this illustrative, deduplicated synthesis of studies in heart failure and atrial fibrillation, psychological symptom prevalence was analyzed separately from longitudinal prognosis. The simulated pooled prevalence of anxiety and depression was approximately one quarter. Adjusted time-to-event effects were preferred over crude mortality odds ratios, and outcome-specific evidence certainty was rated low or very low. Disease-specific estimates and heterogeneous psychological thresholds limit generalizability.
