Abstract
The close relationship between the emotional world and the heart has been recognized for centuries. As such, the heart has assumed the mantle as the principal metaphor for emotional expression and has often been used to symbolize the human spirit. A significant body of evidence is now accumulating that psychosocial factors are strongly linked to the pathogenesis, expression and prognostic impact of coronary artery disease (CAD). Of particular note is the predominance of correlations with five particular psychosocial domains: 1) depression; 2) anxiety; 3) personality characteristics; 4) social isolation and low social support, and 5) chronic life stress
