- Abstract -

Cardiovascular diseases represent the first cause of death in both genders, the problem being an international concern. The multiple risk factors, especially psycho-social factors, incriminated in cardiovascular pathology, impose a psycho-somatic approach on the three prophylactic levels, namely primary, secondary and tertiary. The physical and psychological approach of cardiovascular patients, requires the participation of a multidisciplinary team composed of cardiologist, psychologist and kineto-therapist.

Key words: bio-psycho-social, multidisciplinarity, kineto-therapy, psycho-cardiology
