Two Sides

Summary This aim of this review was to examine the relationship between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and depression, which is complex and multifaceted with many inter-related factors includinggenetics, lifestylefactors, environmentalfactorsand other psychological factors at play. There is some evidence to suggest that depression may lead to the development of cardiovascular disease through its association with MetS. It has also been suggested that depressive symptoms may be a consequence rather than the cause of the MetS, as obesity and dyslipidemia have been shown as predictive of depressive symptoms. Thus, the relationship between MetS and depression seems to be a two-way street and bi-directional just as the two sides of the same coin.

Cardiac Psychology

The field of cardiac psychology has evolved significantly in the last decade, leading to cementation of the role of psychological factors in cardiovascular health in the European guidelines on cardiovascular disease prevention in clinical practice in 2012. Hence, psychological factors are here to stay in the guidelines, with the hope that steps will be taken to increase the level of evidence in the next decade and that initiatives will be taken to integrate these factors in clinical practice to guide the treatment and management of patients.

Increased Risk

An impressive amount of literature has been accumulating on potential biological mechanisms directly linking psychological factors with atherothrombotic cardiovascular disease, heart failure, arrhythmia, and stress cardiomyopathy. Indirect biological effects of psychological factors due to unhealthy behaviours are also important. For instance, depressed individuals have an increased risk of developing the metabolic syndrome, with those having the syndrome showing elevated interleukin 6 and fibrinogen levels.
