Hi, thanks for the query You say you are suffering from depression. May I know the exact nature of your symptoms? Here you have described in depth about your cardiac illness & apparently you are taking medications & adequate care for the same. Considering your cardiac condition; medications like sertraline, escitalopram, tineptine which are good antidepressants & do not interact with other drugs; nor have any adverse effects on hear are a good option. Hope this helps for you; good Luck
