Association Between Cardiovascular Diseases and Mental Illness

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are important public health concerns around the world and closely associated with the development and progression of mental illness, which in turn increases the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed (1) to explore the known or unknown protective and risk factors underlying this comorbidity using questionnaires; (2) to study the biomarkers (body fluid, imaging) of the participants, and to find the influence on the relationship between CVD and mental health; (3) to identify high-risk populations for mental disorders in CVD patients and to establish prediction models. (4) to establish a specialized medical database.
