Studies in both the United States and Britain published in a leading cardiology journal showed a higher incidence of coronary artery disease and a worse prognosis in patients that exhibited anger, hostility and depression. Antidepressant use was not particularly helpful, because it increased the incidence of sudden death, probably from arrhythmias. A simple test called Heart Rate Variability can assess the balance between the parasympathetic (relaxing) and sympathetic (stimulating) parts of the nervous system. This will identify your degree of risk. There are many ways to learn to relax more effectively and reduce your risk substantially.
