Abstract:-The significance of psychosocial factors in the growth and phrase of heart disease has been argumentation; a wide current literature at the present establishes that psychosocial factors add extensively to the pathogenesis of cardiac heart disease and require to be measured in the jeopardy stratification and treatment of patients with cardiac heart disease. The major objective of this study is to search out the psychiatric correlates of CHD. For this, sets of psychological inventories are used, which determine seven psychological variables. To abridge the task, two types of group assessment were made. In the primary type, the total sample (450) was separated into three groups, that is, CHD group (350), non-cardiac group (50), and standard group (50). In the secondary type, the CHD group was auxiliary separated into seven groups (50 each) based on the diagnosis and was compared with the non-cardiac and standard groups. It was found that cardiac subgroups have homogeneity and heterogeneity amongst themselves. Cardiac subgroup showed some homogeneity with the standard and non-cardiac groups as well. Findings implies that the cardiac group obtained super-ordinate rating in family stress, personal stress, extroversion–introversion, neuroticism, and depression and incline rating in social stress when compared with the standard and non-cardiac groups. In conclusion, super-ordinate rating in family stress, personal stress, extroversion–introversion, neuroticism, and depression are the significant variables to envisage an individual to have the tendency of CHD. Association of psychological factors in CHD is factual, not a fable.

I. INTRODUCTION
The death rate due to cardiac diseases has declined significantly in the US in the last 15 years even as it continues to rise in India with cardiovascular diseases being the leading cause of death, underlining the need for the country to adopt population-level strategies to reduce risk factors (Sushmi Dey, 2018)
The death rate due to cardiac heart disease (CHD) declined by a significant 41 per cent in the US between 1990 and 2016, whereas in India it rose by around 34 per cent from 155.7 to 209.1 deaths per one lakh population in the same period, says a new international study published by Elsevier in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
