Cardiologists and psychologists unite, in this interdisciplinary volume, to explore the delicate link between cardiac health and human behaviour. The authors present state-of-the-art treatment solutions for coronary-prone behaviour, along with an introduction to cardiac functioning and disease. Researchers in the field analyse related clinical trials to provide a base for future research. A comprehensive presentation of a growing field, the book includes chapters on Type A behaviour, diet, exercise, psychopharmacology, and treatment of the cardiac spouse. The special circumstances of female cardiac patients and bypass surgery patients are also considered. This volume will be of interest to psychologists, cardiologists, nurses, counsellors, and social workers - indeed all medical professionals interested in expanding their knowledge and becoming involved in the growing field of cardiac psychology.
