  • Psihokardiologija : sočasna preventiva in obravnava koronarne bolezni ter duševnih motenj = Psychocardiology : simultaneous prevention and treatment of coronary disease and mental disorders
    Marušič, Dorjan ; Marušič, Andrej, 1965-2008
    Psychocardiology is a science which explores psychologic factors that are important during the development of coronary disease. As it has been proved that depressive disorder presents an independent ... indicative factor of earlier mortality following myocardial infarction, more and more attention is devoted to the intertwinning of depression and coronary disease. It is known that depressive disorder can be effectively treated psychologically and/or with antidepressants. It is also known that depression among people with somatic disorder is often overlooked. Depression is thus an important and often overlooked disorder among coronary patients, which can be treated and so eliminated as a risk factor of earlier mortality after myocardial infarction. Knowledge of intertwinning mechanisms between depression and coronary disease would enable a more effective prevention and simultaneous treatment of both diseases. Having reviewed literature regarding the intertwinning of all the classic and psychologic risk factors for coronary disease, seven specific influences of depression and other psychologic factors on this chronic diseasecan be exposed: behaviour changes connected with health, and six biologic mechanisms as are variability of blood pressure, oxygen supply of heart muscle, blood thickening, blood coagulation, levels of lipids and blood sugar. Studies of the influence of psychologic risk factors on the developmentof coronary heart disease are relatively copious in Slovenia and could be of help in further development of simultaneous primary and secondary prevention of coronary disease and depression. In the future, an even faster progress can be expected, as cardiologists and other physicians who do not work predominantly on the domain of mental health also show more and more interest in psychological problematics among their patients.
