Recent evidence suggests that positive psychologic factors may<SUP> </SUP>be protective against coronary artery disease (CAD). We consider<SUP> </SUP>this possibility through a paradigm that explores three interrelated<SUP> </SUP>factors that may promote healthy psychologic functioning: vitality,<SUP> </SUP>emotional flexibility, and coping flexibility. Vitality is a<SUP> </SUP>positive and restorative emotional state that is associated<SUP> </SUP>with a sense of enthusiasm and energy. Flexibility is related<SUP> </SUP>both to the ability to regulate emotions effectively and cope<SUP> </SUP>effectively with challenging daily experiences. A variety of<SUP> </SUP>factors may diminish vitality, including chronic stress and<SUP> </SUP>negative emotions.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://intl.psychosomaticmedicine.org/cgi/content/short/67/Supplement_1/S47"> psychologic factors, including positive emotions, optimism,<SUP> </SUP>and social support, may diminish physiological hyperresponsiveness<SUP> </SUP>and/or reduce adverse clinical event rates</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://intl.psychosomaticmedicine.org/cgi/content/short/67/Supplement_1/S47">other positive<SUP> </SUP>factors such as gratitude and altruistic behavior have been<SUP> </SUP>linked to a heightened sense of well-being</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/18634F07-C05E-490B-A63B-39B8B2EB46D6/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
