Description
Matthew M Burg traces a century of treating psychological factors in heart disease, in a 2026 review article. Stress and emotion in cardiac risk run from surgeon John Hunter, who died after an argument, through the type A behaviour work of Rosenman and Friedman.
Depression took centre stage from the mid-1980s, with pooled studies tying even mild symptoms to new and repeat cardiac events, and trauma stress joined the list later. Group cognitive programmes, stress skills training and related care cut events or silent ischaemia in several trials the author recounts. The review asks where the field stands now and how psychological care should be built into cardiac practice next.
