According to the American Heart Association...

Findings from studies to date on psychological health and cardiovascular disease (CVD) can be summarized as follows:

  • Psychological health is an important component of wellness/well-being for patients with or at risk for CVD
  • The mind, heart, and body are all interconnected and interdependent in a relationship that can be called the mind-heart-body connection
  • There is a substantial body of good-quality data showing clear associations between psychological health and CVD and risk
  • There is increasing evidence that psychological health may be causally linked to biological processes and behaviors that contribute to and cause CVD
  • The preponderance of data suggests that interventions to improve psychological health can have a beneficial impact on cardiovascular health
  • Consideration of psychological health is advisable in the evaluation and management of patients with or at risk for CVD

"No one is immune to stress, whether real or imagined."
