One in three men over 40 will likely suffer some form of heart disease, while among postmenopausal women, the risk is the same. Now compelling research suggests that cardiovascular disease and depression feed on each other. For the first time, in "The Hear/Depression Connection, two of the nation's top experts in cardiology and psychiatry explore this significant interrelationship, including: Effects of anxiety and anger on the heart Social isolation and its role in depression and heart disease Panic disorder, chest pain, and mitral valve prolapse Medication contraindications and alternative suggestions The hormone connection to depression and heart disease in women
"The Heart/Depression Connection is a valuable resource for minimizing the risks of heart disease.
