ABSTRACT
Coronary heart disease is one of the most frequent causes of death in Germany. Psychosocial factors can be considered cofactors in the development of coronary heart disease. These factors also play a particularly important role in triggering acute coronary syndrome or acute myocardial infarction. Heart disease itself can result in manifest anxiety, tendencies toward denial, and depressive disorders. Especially the latter worsen the disease course and prognosis. In addition to somatic treatment, behavioral interventions to control risk factors are available as well as psychotherapy and antidepressants. The aim of this contribution is to describe the psychosomatic aspects of coronary heart disease and to delineate the principles of a holistic approach to treatment.
