Psychological predictors in cardiovascular diseases
The idea that the mind and the body together determine health and illness logically implies a model for studying the issues in chronic illness such as cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Psychosocial risk factors such as work stress, low socioeconomic status, impaired social support, anxiety, and depression, certain personality traits, anger and hostility are associated with CVD outcomes both in healthy & CVD populations. (Chida & Steptoe, 2009)) Post-traumatic stress disorders may negatively influence the incidence and course of multiple cardiovascular disease conditions. (Albus et al., 2014) Depression, anxiety, and Type-D pattern are associated with the earlier development and faster progression of CVD. (Svansdottir et al., 2012) Childhood adversity is linked to heart disease in middle age. Growing up in a challenging family environment is associated with higher rates of cardiovascular disease and mortality in middle age, according to a large prospective study.
