Psychosocial factors and coronary heart disease
Tóm tắt
Several recent observations support the notion of an independent role of psychosocial factors in the pathophysiology of CHD. More has to be learned about the mechanisms whereby these factors mediate its deleterious effects. Hopefully, more knowledge of this relationship may help us to discover new treatments for this ubiquitous disease.
