Background:The present comparative study with healthy volunteers was conducted to investigate the depressive status and temperament in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH).

Methods and Results:The results of the temperament and personality scale test, and the Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology-Self Report revealed that CTEPH patients have a significantly higher depressive status than healthy volunteers.

Conclusions:It may be that CTEPH patients are more likely to have a depressive temperament in origin. It is expected that the relationship between the biological traits of CTEPH (e.g., genetics) and patients’ depressive temperament will be elucidated in the future.
