Review on Understanding the interplay between Psychosocial factors and Cardiovascular Health

Abstract

This review is going to explore a complex interplay between psychosocial factors and the health of the cardiovascular system, which is a modern topic covered by the recent research literature, talking about various psychological factors that have an obvious effect on cardiovascular matters. From this, psychosocial factors span the whole broad spectrum, with variables like stress, depression, anxiety, social support and quality of life, which have been demonstrated to have a strong effect on modifying the outcomes of the cardiovascular system included in this. The COVID-19 outbreak has indirectly highlighted a dreaded fact that infectious diseases affect the cardiovascular system in a very hard way. Numerous clinical researches have shown severe cardiovascular complications in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients, such as cardiac damage, myocardial injury, left ventricular systolic dysfunction, different types of rhythms and thromboembolic situations. Correct interpretation and handling of the cardiovascular effects are vital steps toward the assessment risking, discretion and treatment in COVID-19 cases. In addition there is the concept of inflammatory ageing, defined as chronic inflammation which attends old age and has become a determining influence on the way cardiovascular diseases are manifested. Inflammation helps with atherosclerosis, hypertension, as well as adverse cardiac remodelling, thus, employing the anti-inflammatory pathways in the processes of treatment is truly indispensable for cardiovascular care.
