The effects of usual Care in Psychosocial Intervention Trials of patients with coronary artery disease: A systematic review
The European Network on Psychosomatic Medicine (ENPM) – history and future directions
BACKGROUND: Within national and international societies of psychosomatic medicine the idea has emerged of bringing together and coordinating psychosomatic, behavioural, psychological and medical actions with common interests throughout Europe as a way to increase their scientific and political influence. METHODS: It was felt that there was a strong need and opportunity of a common and unifying forum for scientific exchange. RESULTS: It was consid…

Women’s Exhaustion and Coronary Artery Atherosclerosis Progression: The Stockholm Female Coronary Angiography Study
OBJECTIVE: Vital exhaustion (VE) has been associated with incident and recurrent cardiac events. The present study investigated the impact of VE on coronary atherosclerosis progression for 3 years. We further aimed to detect the relative importance of the VE subcomponents, fatigue, and depressed mood. METHODS: 103 women (age range, 30-65 years) who had experienced an acute coronary event underwent quantitative coronary angiography at baseline and…
Behavioral interventions for coronary heart disease patients
INTRODUCTION: There is a strong clinical need to provide effective stress reduction programs for patients with an acute coronary syndrome. Such programs for men have been implemented and their cardiovascular health benefit documented. For women such programs are scarce.In this report, The feasibility of a cognitive method that was recently demonstrated to prolong lives of women is tested. A setting with gender segregated groups was applied. METHO…
Are social relations less health protective in women than in men? Social relations, gender, and cardiovascular health
Individuals with no or few social contacts have an increased risk of dying prematurely from coronary disease. Social ties generally exert general, but unspecific, health protective effects, however, negative social ties are sometimes harmful for women's cardiac health. In a clinical trial of psychosocial intervention, consecutive female coronary patients received a one year cognitive stress reduction, and support strengthening program. In a nine …
Influence of social support on progression of coronary artery disease in women
Cardiovascular Reactivity to Mental Stress in the Stockholm Female Coronary Risk Study
OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated the ability of mental stress testing to discriminate between women with and without CHD, and among women with different disease manifestations, taking into account history of hypertension and beta-blocker use. METHODS: Analyses were based on data from a community-based case-control study of women aged 65 years or younger. The study group consisted of 292 women who were hospitalized for an acute event of CHD, either…
Marital Stress Worsens Prognosis in Women With Coronary Heart Disease: The Stockholm Female Coronary Risk Study
Results Among women who were married or cohabiting with a male partner (n=187), marital stress was associated with a 2.9-fold (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.3-6.5) increased risk of recurrent events after adjustment for age, estrogen status, education level, smoking, diagnosis at index event, diabetes mellitus, systolic blood pressure, smoking, triglyceride level, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level, and left ventricular dysfunction. Amo…
Job stress and the occupational gradient in coronary heart disease risk in women
Psychosocial Factors and Heart Rate Variability in Healthy Women
OBJECTIVE: This study was conducted to investigate associations between psychosocial risk factors, including social isolation, anger and depressive symptoms, and heart rate variability in healthy women. METHODS: The study group consisted of 300 healthy women (median age 57.5 years) who were representative of women living in the greater Stockholm area. For the measurement of social isolation, a condensed version of the Interpersonal Support Evalua…
Increased Psychosocial Strain in Lithuanian Versus Swedish Men: The LiVicordia Study
OBJECTIVE: Coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality is four times higher in 50-year-old Lithuanian men than in 50-year-old Swedish men. The difference cannot be explained by standard risk factors. The objective of this study was to examine differences in psychosocial risk factors for CHD in the two countries. METHODS: The LiVicordia study is a cross-sectional survey comparing 150 randomly selected 50-year-old men in each of the two cities: Vilnius,…
Depressive Symptoms, Social Support, and Lipid Profile in Healthy Middle-Aged Women
OBJECTIVE: Several studies have reported an inverse relationship between cholesterol levels and death from violent causes, including suicide. Because depression and depressive symptoms are associated with suicide and trauma, the relation between cholesterol and depressive symptoms is of interest. The objective of the present study was to examine this relationship in a group of healthy women. The second main objective of the study was to investiga…
