“We want to raise awareness of the multidirectional relationship between mental health and cardiovascular disease. Each increases the risk of the other, and individuals with both conditions have worse outcomes and the highest negative health burdens. In this consensus document we summarise what we know about how to prevent or minimise negative outcomes but also highlight significant gaps in our knowledge which need to be addressed urgently.”
