Physiological Correlates of Coronary-Prone Behavior

  • Chapter
Coronary-Prone Behavior

Abstract

The link between behavioral phenomena and coronary heart disease must include many physiological processes. Distinctive behavior patterns occur repeatedly in certain individuals over a long period of time and lead eventually to clinical manifestations of coronary heart disease. Many physiological systems participate in behavioral phenomena and many pathophysiological processes contribute to atherogenesis. Ultimately, the clinical complications of coronary heart disease occur when other pathophysiological processes operate in the presence of coronary artery disease. The challenge for behavioral physiologists is to utilize the theories and facts from modern physiology in determining the link between behavior, atherogenesis, and coronary heart disease.
