Underscores that mental health related disease and symptoms like depression, anxiety, anger and hostility, as well as acute or chronic stress, are factors that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Current recommendations call for the standardized screening of depression and the implementation of an appropriate therapeutic plan in patients with cardiac conditions. A lack of psychosocial well-being in the population also constitutes a cardiovascular risk factor, as it is associated with poorer cardiovascular health and more adverse clinical outcomes in cardiovascular disease. Additionally, psychosocial factors are closely linked to overall cardiovascular risk, often influencing behaviours such as tobacco use and levels of physical activity; |
