Psychiatric Aspects of Cardiovascular Diseases / Patients

Radmila Topić ; KBC Zagreb

Sažetak

Psychocardiology has become an increasingly interesting area of integrative and holistic psychosomatic medicine. Numerous studies show that cardiovascular (CV) diseases and psychiatric disorders often coexist, and that comorbid conditions between these two entities are highly prevalent. Some psychiatric disorders, especially anxiety and depression, significantly affect the recovery and prognosis of cardiac patients. They are also important risk factors in the development of CV diseases. Early recognition and successful treatment of mental disorders in cardiovascular patients can significantly contribute to the overall success and favorable treatment outcome.
