Abstract

A review of studies for psychosomatic relations in cardiac arrhythmias are presented. There are considered psychopathological disorders that make symptoms of arrhythmia worse. Affective and psychosocial risk factors for cardiac diseases are defined. The patients with cardiac arrhythmias have frequently anxiety and hypochondriacal disorders. In addition, end-stage somatopathy is marked by depressive syndromes caused by the severe course of cardiovascular diseases resulting in heart failure. Despite visible progress in research of psychological problems associated with cardiac arrhythmias, a series of issues require in-depth investigation that related to therapy, rehabilitation and prevention activities for this group of patients.
