Reflexiones sobre el consenso ESC 2025 sobre la enfermedad mental y la enfermedad cardiovascular

Abstract

This clinical consensus statement emphasizes the bilateral relationship between cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mental health (MH), as has been demonstrated in certain clinical scenarios, taking into account the lack of evidence to guide clinical practice. This working group has adopted a Delphi process in which experts in CVD and MH have expressed their opinions on those evidence-poor points. An ordinal Likert scale was used (strongly agree, agree, neither agree nor disagree, disagree, strongly disagree, reject), and finally only those recommendations in which at least 75% of experts had “agree” or “strongly agree” were considered. As a result of this analysis and the gathered scientific evidence, a total of thirty-four recommendations were published in this document.
