Understanding The Psychological Aspects Of Heart Disease

When someone close to you suffers from heart disease, the impact can be devastating for the patient, family and friends. Once the medical emergency has passed, a wide spectrum of emotional problems may begin. Today's heart disease patient needs to address these issues. If ignored, the patient and other family members alike can become hostage not only to the physical limitations of heart disease, but the emotional limitations as well.

Full cardiac recovery requires both a healthy body and a healthy emotional state, beginning the process of regaining a sense of control over life.
