“…TABP as a coronaryprone behavior has been shown to be accompanied by depression or behavioral disorders (Fassino et al, 2007;Kent and Shapiro, 2009), and is associated with heavy drinking habit (Johnson et al, 1989). Since TABP is characterized by hostile, aggressive, and competitive behavior, those with TABP, ALDH2 * 1/ * 1 and ADH1B * 1/ * 1 are expected to confront heavy mental stress when they must quit drinking.…”

“…In addition, prevalence rates of depressive disorders in various cardiological conditions are significantly higher than in healthy general population (Kapfhammer 2011). There are established links between depression and heart disease (Kent and Shapiro 2009) and a substantial body of research has highlighted the psychological problems of many patients with HF. The prevalence of depression and anxiety is high in chronic heart failure (10-60% depression; 11-45% anxiety); with rates of depressive disorders 2 to 4 times higher in chronic heart failure patients than in the general population (Ladwig et al 2014) and higher in heart failure patients than other cardiac patient groups (Moser et al 2010).…”

The contribution of illness perception to psychological distress in heart failure patients

et al. 2014

Background: The influences on the psychological well-being of heart failure (HF) patients have received limited attention. Illness perceptions are a specific set of cognitive representations that have been shown to predict health-related outcomes in other patient groups. This study sought to explore the role of illness perceptions in the psychological well-being of HF patients by creating a profile of illness perceptions in HF and examining their relations with anxiety and depression. Methods: Participants were 95 consecutive outpatients. Indices of psychological well-being were depression and anxiety, measured using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Illness perceptions were measured using the Illness Perception Questionnaire -Revised (IPQ-R). Functional status was also determined using the New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification. Results: Illness perceptions were associated with indices of psychological well-being. Regression analyses showed that illness perceptions accounted for a significant proportion of the variance in both depression and anxiety. The contribution of illness perceptions was greater than that made by traditional covariates (socio-demographic variables and functional status). Conclusions: Results highlight dynamic interrelations between perceptions of illness and mental health indices. They also suggest that in considering the role of illness perceptions in psychological well-being, the primary focus should be on the overall dynamic of an individual's illness experience rather than on specific illness dimensions. Findings highlight the potential role of illness perceptions in depression and anxiety in HF. This has implications for interventions to maximise psychological well-being in this patient group.

“…Platelet activation is increased in patients with depression [36]. Furthermore, thrombus formation on the surface of coronary plaque is key in acute coronary events, making platelet dysfunction a plausible mechanism [37]. In addition, patients with feelings of anxiety, depression, fatigue and a Type D personality have reduced heart rate variability (HRV) [38][39][40][41], which is an indicator of cardiac autonomic control and predictive of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality [42,43].…”

Cardiovascular co-morbidity in cancer patients: the role of psychological distress

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Due to aging of the population and cardiotoxic cancer treatment, there is an increasing group of patients with cancer and co-morbid cardiovascular disease (CVD). In order to find a balance between the risk of undertreating the malignancy on the one hand and inducing CVD on the other hand, CVD risk stratification at the time of cancer diagnosis and knowledge on the pathway for developing incident CVD in cancer patients is vital. In this paper, we propose an adapted multiple-hit hypothesis for developing CVD in cancer patients describing that patients with cancer are exposed to a series of sequential or concurrent events that together make them more vulnerable to reduced cardiovascular reserves, development of incident CVD and ultimately death. We highlight the possible impact of psychological distress secondary to a cancer diagnosis and/or treatment, which in turn may increase the risk of incident CVD in patients diagnosed with cancer. Furthermore, we discuss potential behavioral and pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the link between psychological distress and the pathophysiology of incident CVD. In addition, key unanswered questions for future research are posed. In the future, researching the adapted multiple-hit hypothesis for developing CVD among cancer patients will hopefully advance the care of cancer patients by finding some of the missing pieces of the puzzle. To do so, we need to focus on minimizing cardiovascular risk and promoting cardiovascular health in cancer patients by addressing the knowledge gaps formulated in this paper.Keywords: Cancer, Survivors, Cardiovascular, Psychological distress, Mechanisms Cardiovascular co-morbidity in cancer patientsDue to aging of the population, there is an increasing number of patients with cancer and co-morbid cardiovascular disease (CVD). Additionally, cancer patients may develop incident CVD as a result of the cardiotoxicity of cancer treatment. Fortunately, there has been increasing awareness of co-morbid CVD in cancer patients. In 2009, the International CardiOncology Society (ICOS) was established [1]. ICOS advocates a multi-disciplinary effort to combat CVD in cancer patients by both training oncologists and cardiologists and conducting multidisciplinary research. In 2014, during the international colloquium on cardio-oncology, ICOS stressed the importance of finding a balance between the risk of undertreating the malignancy on the one hand and inducing CVD by overtreating on the other hand [2]. In order to accomplish this goal, they emphasize the importance of CVD risk stratification at the time of cancer diagnosis. Recommendations based on consensus have also been published to target the vulnerable cancer patient population, emphasizing the importance of a thorough cardiac evaluation, including the assessment of risk factors, prior to formulating a cancer treatment plan [3].Adapted multiple-hit hypothesis: the impact of psychological distress Important in CVD risk stratification is knowledge of the pathway for developing CVD in cancer patie...
