Abstract
Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) is the single most important preventable disease in the U.S. Risk factors for the development of IHD have been well described, and treatment strategies for the primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention of this disease are available. Because of the prevalence of IHD, and known benefits of intervention, psychiatrists should be familiar with screening and treatment. This paper describes the screening and intervention strategies suitable for psychiatrists caring for patients at risk for IHD.
