RELATIONSHIP OF ANXIETY-DEPRESSIVE STATE WITH CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES

Аннотация

Patients with cardiovascular diseases usually experience negative psychological conditions. To date, depression has received the most attention among patients with cardiovascular events, especially in patients who had a serious cardiac event such as acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Recently, however, anxiety has become another important psychological construct that is widespread, often co-occurs with depression and interferes with the response to depression treatment, and may ultimately affect the course of cardiovascular disease independent of depression. In this article, we aim to review the latest literature on anxiety and related disorders in cardiovascular disease.
