Abstract

The article shows biosocial relationships as elements of pathological changes of cardiovascular pathology — first at the functional, then at the morphological level. The ability to interact with the semantic, symbolic reality is the competence of a doctor, which allows helping people at the level of a person’s social identity. It is shown that in addition to the evidence-based (essentially biological) aspects of contact with a patient, there are sociocultural aspects. They are fundamentally different, since at the cultural level reproducibility and reproducibility are impossible. In this way psychological part is only the moment of the transition of the biological into the social, and vice versa. This approach returns to medical care its original meaning — working with a person in its entirety, which corresponds to WHO definition of health.
