Do psychosocial factors cause coronary heart disease or affect survival among patients with coronary heart disease? Here weuse an explicit methodological quality filter to review systematicallythe prospective cohort studies testing specific psychosocial hypotheses.This review of the epidemiological literature identifies the psychosocialfactors that have been most rigorously tested.
