Abstract(s)
A relação profunda entre a saúde mental e as doenças cardiovasculares desempenha um
papel crucial na promoção da saúde. Atualmente, as doenças mentais, como a depressão e
a comum ansiedade, são cada vez mais recorrentes na sociedade. Além dos efeitos já
demonstrados que estas patologias implicam na saúde mental dos indivíduos, pesquisas
recentes confirmam que estas também aumentam significativamente o risco para o
aparecimento e progressão de doenças cardiovasculares.
A relação entre doenças mentais e cardiovasculares é complexa e bidirecional. Por um
lado, os fatores de risco cardiovasculares podem contribuir para o desenvolvimento de
doenças mentais, por outro, estas doenças podem desencadear respostas fisiológicas
adversas que aumentam o risco de distúrbios cardiovasculares.
Ao identificar a doença mental como um fator de risco, é possível implementar estratégias
preventivas e intervenções precoces que ajudam a reduzir a incidência e a gravidade das
mesmas. Além disso, investigar os mecanismos subjacentes à relação entre doença mental
e doenças cardiovasculares, bem como a influência da medicação psicotrópica pode levar a
avanços significativos no desenvolvimento de novos tratamentos e intervenções.
Deste modo, o objetivo desta dissertação passa pela revisão literária acerca do impacto da
saúde mental nas doenças cardiovasculares e como estas podem afetar a sintomatologia e
progressão da doença, assim como os seus mecanismos subjacentes e a influência do
tratamento psicotrópico, finalizando com a sua implicação geral na saúde dos indivíduos e
nas possíveis novas intervenções aliadas à telemedicina.
A deep understanding of the relationship between mental health and cardiovascular diseases plays a crucial role in health promotion. Currently, mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety are increasingly prevalent in society. In addition to the welldocumented effects these pathologies have on individuals' mental health, recent research confirms that they also significantly increase the risk of the onset and progression of cardiovascular diseases. The relationship between mental and cardiovascular diseases is complex and bidirectional. On one hand, cardiovascular risk factors can contribute to the development of mental illnesses; on the other hand, these mental illnesses can trigger adverse physiological responses that increase the risk of cardiovascular disorders. By identifying mental illness as a risk factor, it is possible to implement preventive strategies and early interventions that help reduce the incidence and severity of these conditions. Furthermore, investigating the underlying mechanisms of the relationship between mental illness and cardiovascular diseases, as well as the influence of psychotropic medication, can lead to significant advancements in the development of new treatments and interventions. Thus, the aim of this dissertation is to conduct a literature review on the impact of mental health on cardiovascular diseases and how they can affect the symptoms and progression of the disease, along with their underlying mechanisms and the influence of psychotropic treatment. The dissertation will conclude by addressing its overall implications for individuals' health and the potential new interventions allied with telemedicine.
