Anxiety and Depression in Women’s Cardiovascular Health: Risk Modifiers, Mechanisms and Clinical Implications

2026-04-30

Abstract excerpt

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in women, yet prevention and management have historically relied on male-centered models. Sex and gender critically influence risk, clinical presentation, and outcomes. Depression, anxiety, and psychosocial stress, more prevalent in women, act as key amplifiers of cardiovascular risk. We conducted a clinically oriented narrative review based on a broad, non-syst...
