Broadens psychosomatic research lens for cardiovascular clinicians; leaves open translation of highlighted methodologies into evidence-based care.
A comprehensive classification of contemporary psychosomatic studies by their subject and methodology, respectively, is presented. Representative examples of the current research in this field are provided. Special emphasis is given to the most prominent areas of investigation, i.e. psychophysiology, psychoendocrinology, psychoimmunology, and studies of the impact of stressful life events on health. The widening scope and diversity of psychosomatic research are underscored by its illustrative examples.
