Cardiovascular Neurosis--a Review

J. L. CAUGHEY JR M.D.1

1 Department of Medicine, College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, and the Presbyterian Hospital, New York City

Cardiovascular neurosis is a clinical syndrome arising from complicated alterations in the total personality of the patient. Its physiological manifestations can be separated from those of organic disease only by careful clinical and laboratory study. Treatment of the condition, if it is to be successful, must involve a reconditioning of the individual's interpretation of, and response to, afferent visceral impulses. In many patients the symptoms have been precipitated or perpetuated by faulty medical supervision of the difficult problems involved.

Note:

This is a review of the literature of internal medicine on the subject without reference to the psychiatric literature.
