The good heart

Article Abstract:

The research on profound connection between emotions and the cardiovascular system states that it is not just sudden shocks like earthquakes that kill but evidence suggests that chronic emotional states such as stress, anxiety, hostility and depression take a far greater toll on a persons well being. The model for treating heart patients is an approach that integrates lifestyle changes with a new outlook on life, bound together by the realization that heart and mind do not work in isolation.
