Methodology: A systematic review of the international literature in the scientific databases Pubmed and Science direct from 2015 to 2021 was carried out.

The results of the studies showed that the prevalence of depression in women ranged from 14,4%-50,7% and women with cardiovascular disease have significantly more depressive symptoms than men.
