[Sudden cardiac death in subjects with healthy heart. Role of heart-mind interactions].
The Authors report the significant progress that has been made in the past few decades in defining the connections between the central nervous system and the cardiovascular system and the mechanisms by which neuroadrenergic influences over cardiac function can lead to heart disease. Moreover, the question of sudden cardiac death, particularly in individuals without a prior history of clinical heart disease, is analysed in the light of present knowledge concerning the deleterious effects on cardiac electrophysiologic properties of psychosocial and behavioural factors.
