About this Research Topic
In this research topic, we aim to provide a forum to discuss the latest advancements in the understanding of the relationship between psychology and its related factors, and atherosclerosis to identify new therapeutic strategies for the disease prevention and treatment. We seek to explore the epidemiological aspects of psychological issues and atherosclerosis in populations, and the implementation of for large-scale psychological assessment and adjustment techniques. Additionally, we welcome discussions on integrated psychological adjustment systems, as well as the secondary changes in neuroendocrine-related neural structures and functions under psychological stress, and their impact on atherosclerosis.
We welcome submissions on the following topics, but are not limited to:
- Psychological factors and their impact on the development and progression of atherosclerosis, especially the role of stress, depression, anxiety, and personality traits in atherosclerosis.
- Psychological interventions and their effectiveness in preventing and managing atherosclerosis and atherosclerosis-related complications.
- Epidemiological studies investigating the relationship between psychological factors and atherosclerosis.
- Assessment tools and techniques for evaluating psychological factors in the context of atherosclerosis.
- The underlying neurobiological and psychophysiological mechanisms linking psychology and atherosclerosis.
- Strategies for integrating psychological interventions into the management of atherosclerosis.
- The influence of circadian rhythm and biological clock disturbance and imbalance on atherosclerosis.
- The role of big data and artificial intelligence algorithms in psychologically related atherosclerosis.
