This landmark study that explains the connection between heart disease and depression

The Heart Mind Connection presents compelling evidence on how emotions can actually cause cardiac trouble. Cardiologist Windsor Ting and psychiatrist Greg Fricchione examine the mind/body connection to show how eight Heart/Mind Conspirators (depression, anxiety, anger, social isolation, stress, panic disorder, and daily and seasonal rhythms) can physically undermine your health.

Included is advice on using anti-depressants, ensuring a healthy heart and mind, and survival strategies for dealing with the side effects of surgery and heart recovery. In addition, there's additional advice for women to help them find important information on their risk for heart disease and using hormone replacement therapy.
