【 摘 要 】

The link between the heart and mind has been studied over the centuries in many fields, such as medicine and psychology (Thayer and Lane, 2009; Allan, 2012). Different terms have been used recently to identify this research and clinical area: e.g., Behavior Cardiology (Rozanski et al., 2005), Psychocardiology (Jordan et al., 2007), and Cardiac Psychology (Allan, 2012). Many risk factors for coronary heart disease have been studied: thus, age, gender, and family history are considered as typical unmodifiable risk factors, whereas diabetes, weight, life stress, type A behavior, social isolation, depression, sedentary lifestyle, cholesterol/HDL ratio, hypertension, and cigarette smoking are the typical modifiable and clinically treatable risk factors (Allan, 2012).
