Cardiovascular Implications of Stress and Depression provides an in-depth examination on how exposure to stress influences risk for cardiovascular disease and how depression is associated with this relationship. This authoritative volume examines causal pathways linking stress, depression and cardiovascular disease. In addition, it provides mechanistic insights into how environmental stress can lead to cardiovascular diseases. Current information about mechanistic factors, clinical and epidemiological aspects, and management issues associated with stress/depression are presented. These insights demonstrate how the mechanisms behind

Research suggests that depression is associated with heightened risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, independent of sociodemographic, behavioral and medical factors. Chronic stressors, such as caring for a spouse with Alzheimer's disease may contribute to CVD risk, partly through increased symptoms of negative affect and heightened platelet activation. Objectives: (1) To investigate cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between negative affect and platelet activation. (2) To investigate whether the magnitude of these associations is greater among dementia caregivers compared to non-caregivers. (3) To explore the

The main aim of this book is to evaluate the concept of stress and provide tools for physicians to identify patients who might benefit from stress management. This will incorporate a detailed description of the physiological and pathophysiological consequences of acute and chronic stress that might lead to cardiovascular disease. The book will aim to critically evaluate interventional research (behavioural and other therapies) and provide evidence based recommendations on how to manage stress in the cardiovascular patient. Our intentions are

Ayurveda or "the sacred knowledge of longevity" has been practiced in India and many Asian countries since time immemorial. Interest in Ayurveda started growing all over the world in the late 1970s, following the Alma Ata Declaration adopted by the W.H.O. in 1978. Ayurveda in the New Millennium: Emerging Roles and Future Challenges attempts to survey the progress made in this field and to formulate a course of action to take Ayurveda through the new millennium. It also identifies

High stress levels can have profound physical and emotional effects. Several coping mechanisms have been shown to decrease levels of stress. Values, a form of coping, have been implicated in reducing psychological and physiological indicators of stress. The behavioral component, committed action has also demonstrated treatment efficacy in ACT treatments of depression, anxiety, and chronic pain. However, few studies have examined the effects of values and committed action on acute responses (e.g., cardiovascular reactivity) to stress. The purpose of

Cognitive hardiness is a psychological construct of stress resiliency which has been postulated to moderate stress-illness and stress-performance relationships. Hardiness has also been thought to exert main effects on health and performance outcomes. In Study 1, relationships between hardiness, perceived stress, depression, and academic performance were investigated. Hardiness was found to be positively predictive of academic performance; the effect was partially mediated by course load. Hardiness was also revealed to moderate the stress-depression relationship. The negative relationship between stress and academic

This book offers practical guidance in choosing the procedure most likely to answer the clinical question. The emphasis throughout is on establishing and utilizing a systematic approach to test selection and test-result analysis, with due consideration given to non-nuclear noninvasive cardiac diagnostic procedures when appropriate. For each of the procedures reviewed, the reader is apprised of the radiopharmaceuticals required, the physiologic mechanisms involved, test acquisition and processing methods, potential technical problems, common pitfalls to avoid, and normal and abnormal findings.

The present study investigated the effects of serotonin and psychosocial factors including Cook-Medley hostility, Trait anger, Trait anxiety, and Beck depression scores on cardiovascular and mood responses to interpersonal stress. Eighty-five males and females participated in either an acute tryptophan depletion, a procedure that lowers brain serotonin levels, or a sham tryptophan depletion. They were subsequently exposed to an interpersonal conflict stressor. Cardiovascular and mood measures were recorded at baseline, post-depletion pre-stress, during the stressor, and during recovery. All participants

In recent years, there has been a growing awareness of the multiple interrelationships between depression and various physical diseases. The WPA is providing an update of currently available evidence on these interrelationships by the publication of three books, dealing with the comorbidity of depression with diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Depression is a frequent and serious comorbid condition in diabetes, which adversely affects quality of life and the long-term prognosis. Co-occurrent depression presents peculiar clinical challenges, making both conditions harder
