2025 ESC Clinical Consensus Statement on mental health and cardiovascular disease

29 Aug, 2025
This clinical consensus statement on mental health and cardiovascular disease highlights the multidirectional relationship between mental health, cardiovascular health and cardiovascular disease and its impact on cardiovascular risk and prognosis.

Consensus statements from a multidisciplinary task force provide advice on assessment and management of mental health conditions in people at risk for and living with cardiovascular disease, as well as for persons with severe mental illness and other specific subgroups. Changes to practice are advocated to integrate mental health into person-centred care of patients with cardiovascular disease and more research to understand better how to improve assessment and management of mental and cardiovascular health together.
