PATIENT PSYCHOLOGY IN CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES

Abstract

   This article examines diseases associated with changes in arterial blood pressure—namely hypertension and hypotension—and explores the psychological characteristics of patients affected by these conditions. The impact of hypertension and hypotension on patients’ mental and emotional states is analyzed, with particular attention to the role of stress and emotional strain in the development and progression of these disorders. Furthermore, the study substantiates that a patient’s psychological condition is a significant factor influencing the course and outcomes of the disease. Based on contemporary statistical data, the widespread prevalence of blood pressure–related disorders is also highlighted.
