Abstract

Cardiovascular disorders are the leading causes of death in developed countries. The chapter provides an overview of behavioral and psychosocial influences on cardiovascular disorders, with an emphasis on coronary heart disease (CHD) and hypertension. This chapter reviews the pathophysiology of CHD, the role played by standard biological, behavioral, and psychosocial risk factors, including social determinants of health, environmental and psychological stress, individual psychological characteristics, and psychosocial protective factors such as social support. The chapter provides a summary of research examining the utility of interventions targeted at reducing risks of cardiovascular disease associated with psychosocial risk factors.
