Psychosomatic diagnostics and therapy are of increasing importance in the acute treatment, prevention and rehabilitation of cardiovascular diseases. The connection between heart disease and the psyche as well as the psychosocial concomitant symptoms is well documented.

Contents:

• Basics of cardiology and psychosomatic medicine;

• Doctor-patient relationship;

• Ethical issues, gender effects, psychocardiology along the lifespan;

• Psychosomatic problem areas and comorbidities in coronary heart disease: Personality factors, risk behaviours, depression, anxiety disorders;

• Specific problems in other cardiovascular diseases and treatment settings;

• Diagnostics;

• Interdisciplinary cooperation, treatment and rehabilitation;

• Training courses in psychocardiology.

The book offers cardiologists, internists, general practitioners, psychotherapists and psychologists all practice-relevant basics to be able to treat their patients in the best possible way. It is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book may read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.
