Resumen
El propósito de este trabajo es examinar los factores de riesgo de los trastornos cardiovasculares que pueden ser modificados a través de intervenciones psicológicas. Entre estos factores se incluyen los conocidos como clásicos (p.e., obesidad, sedentarismo, hipertensión arterial), los denominados emocionales (p.e., conducta Tipo A, ira y hostilidad, ansiedad) y, en general, todos aquellos que poseen un componente psicológico o social. Una vez examinados estos factores de riesgo se analizan, en primer lugar, las intervenciones conductuales que reducen la vulnerabilidad cardiovascular. Posteriormente, se tratan las principales técnicas y programas de intervención y rehabilitación aplicados en esta área.
