Abstract

Negative emotions can have a significant impact on individuals, which then influences their cardiovascular system. However, the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms and clinical implications of this association remain inadequately defined. A narrative review of pertinent literature was conducted to examine the pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and treatment related to the interplay between emotions and conditions such as takotsubo cardiomyopathy, atherosclerosis, acute plaque rupture, and cardiac arrhythmias. Negative emotions can instigate a chronic stress response, which in turn heightens sympathetic nervous system activity and increases vulnerability to cardiovascular diseases. This intricate relationship between emotional states and cardiovascular health underscores the necessity for targeted lifestyle interventions and clinical strategies aimed at mitigating the adverse effects of negative emotions.

期刊介绍： Under the editorial leadership of noted cardiologist Dr. Hector O. Ventura, Current Problems in Cardiology provides focused, comprehensive coverage of important clinical topics in cardiology. Each monthly issues, addresses a selected clinical problem or condition, including pathophysiology, invasive and noninvasive diagnosis, drug therapy, surgical management, and rehabilitation; or explores the clinical applications of a diagnostic modality or a particular category of drugs. Critical commentary from the distinguished editorial board accompanies each monograph, providing readers with additional insights. An extensive bibliography in each issue saves hours of library research.
