This review is devoted to searching for new cardiovascular risk factors in addition to classical ones. Numerous epidemiological and clinical studies confirmed a close relationship between de-pressive disorders and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Chronic systemic inflammation is consid-ered as a common link in pathogenesis of CVD and depression that is one of the explanations for common combination of these diseases. Depressive disorders and chronic stress can be predictors of systemic inflammation. Hyperactivation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system is consid-ered as an important determinant of systemic inflammation, depressive disorders and abnormal reactions to stress. These findings were confirmed in various experimental studies. Partial over-lapping of atherosclerosis and mental disorder pathways can underlie new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of these diseases.
