ABSTRACT
Depression syndromes(anxiety and depression), as typical psychological disorders, often coexist with and mutually influence coronary heart disease(CHD). They constitute a psycho-cardiology disease involving both the blood vessels of the heart and the spirit of the heart. Based on the theory of "coexistence of diseases and depression syndromes", it was proposed that CHD and depression syndromes coexisted independently and were causally related. The factors of depression syndromes go through the entire course of CHD and have different causal relationships at different stages, leading to a pathogenic process of "depression causing disease" or "disease causing depression". In the chronic latent period, phlegm predominates, with depression leading to the production of phlegm. Phlegm accumulation and Qi stagnation initiate a mutual damage process of psycho-cardiology, marking the onset of the disease. In the pathological development period, blood stasis becomes predominant. Depression leads to blood stasis, which further obstructs Qi circulation, accelerating disease progression. In the acute attack period, toxicity becomes crucial. Depression transforms into toxicity, damaging Qi and blood, disturbing the balance of the mind, and inducing a sudden and severe exacerbation of the disease. Based on this, the approach of treating phlegm and depression together, treating blood stasis and depression together, and treating toxicity and depression together by stages was established. Research has found that this approach can simultaneously improve organic damage and emotional disorders, and also has a regulating effect on micro-level syndrome indicators, achieving harmonization of psycho-cardiology in the treatment.

Breast cancer (BC) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are two important “killers” threatening women's life and health.There are several overlapping risk factors and interactive control measures between BC and CVD.BC patients have a higher rate of mental and psychological problems,which may lead to behavior degeneration and treatment interruption,or even affect the body status of and rehabilitation progress,finally result in a bad effect on the life quality and prognosis of breast patients.Crossing field between cardiovasology and psychology has formed a new discipline named psychocardiology,which emphasizes the treatment of CVD while paying great attention to patients' mental-psychological problems.Long-term pain and stress caused by breast cancer and cardiovascular disease can affect patients' psychological state and even lead to anxiety and depression.CVD and mental disorders often coexist in breast cancer patients.Therefore,the clinical practice of breast cancer should strengthen the construction of “double heart medicine”,that is,the construction of breast cancer psychological cardiology and multidisciplinary collaboration.
ABSTRACT
Pacientes ansiosos tendem a ter complicações no cateterismo, o que pode levar a dificuldades no procedimento. As intervenções psicológicas visam auxiliar o paciente a vivenciar mais tranquilamente todas as etapas do tratamento. O objetivo do estudo foi verificar a efetividade de uma vídeo-orientação em relação aos níveis de ansiedade e medo em pacientes submetidos ao cateterismo cardíaco. Para tanto, foi realizada uma intervenção quasi-experimental com um grupo intervenção (30) e um não-intervenção (30), idade média 62 anos, 37 homens e 23 mulheres. Foram aplicados 1) Inventário de Stress de Lipp, escala de ansiedade de Beck e questionário de autorrelato para todos; 2) vídeo-orientação para o grupo intervenção; 3) questionário de autorrelato para todos. A análise estatística demostrou significativamente melhor conhecimento do procedimento, menor preocupação e menor ansiedade e medo no grupo intervenção. Conclui-se que a vídeo-orientação foi eficaz, atendendo à necessidade de qualificação da assistência psicológica.
Anxious patients tend to present clinical complications in cardiac catheterization, which might bring difficulties to the procedure. Psychological interventions aim to help the patient to experience the different phases of the treatment more peacefully. This study aimed to verify the effectiveness of a video-orientation towards the levels of anxiety and fear in patients under cardiac catheterization. Therefore, it was used a quasi-experimental method with an intervention group (30) and a control group (30), average age of 62 years old, 37 men and 23 women. There were administered 1) Stress Symptom Inventory for Adults (ISSL), Beck Anxiety Inventory and a self-report questionnaire to both groups; 2) video-orientation for intervention group; 3) self-report questionnaire to both groups. Statistical analysis showed a significantly better knowledge about the procedure, reduced concern, anxiety and fear in intervention group. It was comprehended that the video-orientation was effective, responding to the necessity of qualification in psychological assistance.

Obiective To explore the application of psycho-cardiology in patients with chronic heart failture compli-cated with depressive disorder. Methods Hospitalized patients with chronic heart failture were assessed with PHQ-9 and PHQ-2 health questionnaire. A total of 80 patients with depressive disorder were selected and randomly divided into routine treatment group (n=40, received routine medication) and intervention group (n=40, application of psycho-cardiology based on routine medication). After three months, changes of scores before and after therapy were statistically analyzed in these two groups. Results Compared with routine treatment group, total scores of PHQ-9 significantly decreased in intervention group (P＜0.01). LVEF, BNP and CRP improved in both groups after intervention (P＜0.05), which were more prominent in intervention group compared with routine treatment group (P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion Psycho-cardiology can treat chronic heart faiture and solve psychological problems of patients and provide comprehensive rehabilitation to patients.
